The Oakland A’s starting rotation will need someone to step up as a steadying influence in 2021. Sean Manaea could be that pitcher.
There is no questioning the potential possessed by the Oakland A’s starting rotation. Both Jesus Luzardo and Frankie Montas have displayed flashes of being top of the rotation arms, the type of pitchers that a team dreams of building around.
