Welcome to Thursday, A’s fans!
The Athletics are in agreement with a former major franchise star to join the organization. That player is none other that the great Dave Stewart:
The Athletics have hired former World Series MVP and Athletics Hall of Famer Dave Stewart as a Special Assistant to Player Development for the 2025 season.

The fact that the team is announcing this themselves means this move is official. Stewart’s official title is Special Assistant to Player Development so we can expect Stew to take a particular interest in developing the young arms the Athletics have in their system coming up.
