Here are five headlines to keep an eye on for the A's during the 2023 season.
All three can close games, and while that might be the headline, it also will mean the seventh- and eighth-inning roles might fluctuate, too. May somewhat is the “wildcard” here in his first stint with the A’s after missing time due to an injury last season, and only having recorded 12 saves in eight big-league seasons. But he also could fit into the closer role nicely.It was a competitive battle for outfield positions, which resulted in Christian Pache.
Perhaps more important is Ruiz's speed, having stolen 85 bases last season in 114 minor-league games. If any fraction of that speed can translate to the professional level, Ruiz could provide the A’s a threat on the bases they haven’t had in more than a decade.Last, but absolutely not least, we need to keep an eye on the future of Oakland baseball.
The A’s non-binding exclusive negotiating agreement with the Port of Oakland expires in May. And while an extension to obtain Howard Terminal is not impossible, the absence of this partnership is like a home without a foundation. Also, in Nevada, the A’s currently are lobbying for ballpark funding with state and county officials. The legislative session ends June 6th, which likely means public financing possibilities in Las Vegas could be known, understood, and possibly give us a better outlook on the possibility of relocation.
