Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker, and now Jacob Wilson have all signed extensions as the A’s near a smooth sailing transition to Las Vegas. The A’s currently play in West Sacramento but it does not excuse their future elsewhere.
The cards are stacked for a team that has not been willing to spend before. Nick Kurtz came off a AL Rookie of the Year campaign while Wilson finished second in that respective race.
Wilson is owed $70 million through 7 years and a club option. His numbers were showy as he slashed .311/.355/.444. He reached the MLB All-Star game and deservedly so.
The future is heavily bright for the A’s. They, at least, made a slight improvement by finishing better in the AL standings (76-86).
2026 should be a better year as all the stars start to align in Sacramento and make its 2028 debut in Las Vegas.
