Spring Game #2: Prospects shine in A’s loss

The Oakland A’s played their second game of 2022 spring training on Saturday. They didn’t win, but the important thing was the friends they made along the way.

The A’s put out a lineup full of fun top prospects, familiar taxi squad mainstays, and interesting non-roster candidates. The result was a 9-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, but it’s the Cactus League so the results don’t matter, and in the meantime all those young and/or bubble players got some live action on the field.

The top story of the day was on the mound, where Sean Manaea proceeded with his scheduled start for Oakland despite being actively on the trade block.
