Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s got off to a great start in Cactus League play over the weekend, winning both games and totaling 23 runs in the process. That’s some poppin’ fresh offense from a plucky young squadron right out the gate for you.
Maybe the front office did win all those seemingly lopsided trades many of us deemed giveaways. I wouldn’t get too optimistic just yet—we’re still likely in for a bit of a long season. But I’m definitely more excited than ever to watch this team develop.
One man who has been instrumental in developing this team is assistant general manager and director of player personnel Billy Owens.
