The Chronicle is proud to introduce A’s Plus, the newest podcast dedicated to the Oakland Athletics. Longtime A’s beat writer Susan Slusser and assistant sports editor Janny Hu take you behind the scenes of one of baseball’s most colorful teams with inside stories, analysis and special guests.
In this inaugural episode, learn more about the vision behind the podcast, and what burning questions fans had for A’s vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane and team president Dave Kaval at Oakland’s annual FanFest.
Slusser and Hu also explore what made Stephen Piscotty’s homecoming trade so special, and which players figure to assume a leadership role in the A’s young clubhouse.
