Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
2025 is upon us—albeit off to an incendiary start in many places. Thankfully, another MLB season is fast approaching, and the league has begun announcing Spring Training dates.

My first takeaway from this tweet is that ATH is the new OAK, as the A’s are currently without an official, permanent home. If you happen to have just returned from deep space and were hibernating in a cryogenic chamber on your starship, let me catch you up: the A’s have left Oakland and intend to play their home games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento until 2028, at which point a new, permanent stadium in Las Vegas will be ready, per the organization.
