Good morning Athletics Nation!
We learned yesterday afternoon that the club would be promoting top prospect Nick Kurtz all the way to Double-A, courtesy of Martin Gallegos:

It’s an aggressive promotion for the #4 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. The Wake Forrest product has looked otherworldly in seven games for the Stockton Ports, hitting .400 with four home runs and an impressive 10-to-7 BB/K ratio.
