About our Oakland Athletics news
Latest news on Oakland Athletics, A's baseball, MLB updates, Las Vegas relocation, player news, scores, standings, roster moves, and franchise updates.
The Athletics are one of Major League Baseball's most storied franchises, with nine World Series championships and a history spanning over 125 years. Following a 57-year tenure in Oakland that ended with their final game at the Coliseum in September 2024, the team now plays at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento through the 2027 season as it prepares for its move to Las Vegas in 2028. The franchise competes in the American League West division under manager Mark Kotsay, led by owner John Fisher.
Construction on the new Las Vegas stadium began in May 2025, with costs now estimated at $2 billion. The Athletics have increased spending, signing pitcher Luis Severino to a three-year, $67 million contract and raising their payroll to approximately $100 million. The 2025 season saw the team finish 76-86, their best record since 2021, with promising performances from young players including Rookie of the Year Mason Miller. GM David Forst, architect of the current roster, remains in extension talks as the franchise navigates this transitional period.
The team's temporary home in West Sacramento has drawn strong attendance, with fans embracing the intimate setting at the 14,000-seat ballpark. The Athletics have received positive reception in Sacramento, wearing special patches featuring the city's Tower Bridge and engaging with the local community through various events and appearances.
The franchise's rich history includes three distinct eras of dominance. Founded in Philadelphia in 1901 under legendary manager Connie Mack, the Athletics won five World Series titles before relocating to Kansas City in 1955. After moving to Oakland in 1968, the team captured three consecutive championships from 1972 to 1974 as the "Swingin' A's", featuring Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, and Rollie Fingers. Another dynasty emerged in the late 1980s with the "Bash Brothers" Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco, culminating in the 1989 World Series victory. Billy Beane's "Moneyball" approach revolutionised baseball analytics in the early 2000s, allowing the franchise to compete despite financial constraints.
