Athletics Vegas dates to circle as spring training opens

Spring training starts today across MLB

Pitchers and catchers begin reporting around MLB today, Feb. 10, with early workouts starting for some clubs right away. The Athletics are set to hold their first pitchers and catchers workout Wednesday, Feb. 11, with the first full-squad workout scheduled for Monday, Feb. 16, in Mesa, Arizona.

Mesa camp starts the baseball side of the timeline

Early roster projections show a clear core and a few jobs still up for grabs.

Shea Langeliers leads the catching group, with Austin Wynns projected behind him. Nick Kurtz anchors first base after his breakout rookie season. Jeff McNeil projects as the primary second baseman, while Jacob Wilson holds down shortstop.

Third base looks like one of the first spring competitions. Max Muncy and Darell Hernaiz sit in that mix. In the outfield, Tyler Soderstrom, Denzel Clarke and Lawrence Butler project as regulars, with a fourth outfielder role still open. Brent Rooker remains the everyday designated hitter.

The biggest pitching question sits in the fifth spot

The rotation picture starts with veterans Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs. Luis Morales and Jacob Lopez project next in line.

After that, the fifth starter job stands out as the clearest spring battle. That race matters because it can reshape the bullpen, too.

Vegas dates to circle right now

Las Vegas fans also have something more concrete than projections.

The A’s will play six regular-season home games at Las Vegas Ballpark in Downtown Summerlin. They host the Milwaukee Brewers for three games June 8–10, then host the Colorado Rockies for three games June 12–14.

Those dates give the season a real Vegas checkpoint, even while the franchise continues its stopover in California.
