About our Athletics news
Latest news on Oakland Athletics, also known as the A's, Oakland A's and Athletics, with coverage of MLB scores, standings, schedule, roster moves, trades, injuries, prospects, Sutter Health Park, West Sacramento and the Las Vegas stadium move.
The Athletics are a Major League Baseball franchise in the American League West, with nine World Series titles and a history of more than a century. Owner John Fisher, the front office and the manager shape a team that has long competed against richer rivals. Its green and gold colours remain among the most recognisable in baseball.
The biggest story is relocation. After 57 years in Oakland, the club left the Coliseum and now plays at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, home of the Triple-A River Cats, while a domed ballpark rises on the Las Vegas Strip. Funding, rising costs, public subsidies and construction progress are all closely followed. Critics argue the move abandoned a loyal fan base, while supporters see a long-sought permanent home.
Beyond the front office, fans follow the trade deadline, free agency, the MLB draft, call-ups from the minor leagues and the performance of young hitters and pitchers. Many supporters in the East Bay remain loyal to the Oakland A's name and traditions, from the Coliseum drum line to the "Rooted in Oakland" movement and the 2023 reverse boycott. Sacramento and Las Vegas supporters are building new traditions of their own.
The franchise began in Philadelphia in 1901 under Connie Mack, moved to Kansas City in 1955 and arrived in Oakland in 1968. It won three straight titles from 1972 to 1974 with Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter and Rollie Fingers, then the 1989 World Series with the Bash Brothers, Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. Billy Beane's analytics-driven Moneyball era, later made famous by a book and film, changed how baseball teams evaluate players.
