Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
Martin Gallegos at MLB.com laid out some of the more notable indications provided by Athletics GM David Forst on the organization’s offseason priorities at last week’s General Managers Meetings.
Forst confirmed that A’s number 2 prospect Nick Kurtz could be joining top prospect Jacob Wilson on the fast track to MLB next year, beginning with a chance to earn an Opening Day roster spot in Spring Training. A heavy hitting first baseman out of Wake Forest, Kurtz was the A’s first pick, taken fourth overall in the 2024 MLB Draft.
