There is no question that Matt Olson has been one of the better players on the Oakland A’s over the past few seasons. The power hitting first baseman has found his way after a lost 2020 campaign, making his first All Star Game and leading the A’s offense this season. It has been the type of performance that Oakland had been hoping for this year.
