The Athletics made waves by signing outfielder Brent Rooker to a five-year, $60 million contract extension, signaling a shift in strategy for a franchise often criticized for its conservative spending in the offseason. The deal, seen by many as a pivotal moment, has sparked optimism among fans and analysts alike.
MLB sportscaster Harold Reynolds went a step ahead making a bold prediction for the franchise that's locking up players. The next thing we know: they're in contention to win the AL West, if they keep doing it, as per Reynolds.
