Programming Note: A's GM David Forst joins Jim Kozimor on SportsTalk Live Wednesday at 5pm.
A’s general manager David Forst acknowledged Wednesday that the team dealt with some chemistry issues this season, though he didn’t blame that for Oakland’s last-place finish.
Speaking with host Jim Kozimor for a SportsTalk Live segment on CSN Bay Area, Forst was quizzed on the subject of clubhouse harmony throughout the A’s 68-94 campaign, which came on the heels of a major roster shuffle last winter.
“We brought in a bunch of new guys, no doubt, and I thought (manager) Bob (Melvin) did a fantastic job during the spring of preparing these guys and getting them together as a group,” Forst said.
