The 2010s saw moments both wildly spectacular and painfully disappointing: a couple no-hitters and a perfect game, bottom-dwelling teams echoing in an empty Coliseum and 90-plus win teams toeing the line between greatness and despair.
Like any other decade, the A’s ushered in a slew of breakout stars and then ushered them out the door in trades when cost-effectiveness demanded it. The decade is over, and Oakland has seen the gamut of talent run through those old concrete halls. And the 2019 team that was saw its postseason hopes dashed quickly is certainly full of names that will usher in the 2020s on a high note.
