Every winter, MLB Network puts out its Top 10 Players Right Now series, ranking the best players in the majors at each position. They wrapped up their 2021 edition this month, and five Oakland A’s showed up among the eight position player groups, though none of the team’s pitchers made the cut.
The A’s got the following mentions:
- C: Sean Murphy (5th)
- 1B: Matt Olson (8th)
- 2B: —
- SS: —
- 3B: Matt Chapman (7th)
- LF: Mark Canha (3rd)
- CF: Ramon Laureano (7th)
- RF: —
- SP: —
- RP: —
However, they didn’t do a list for designated hitter.
