Before the season came to a close, Athletics on SI talked with some of the guys in Green and Gold about the seasons they had and some of the adjustments they had to make in the team's first year in Sacramento.
Tonight the Athletics took on the Boston Red Sox in game two of the three-game set at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. Jeffrey Springs took the mound for the A’s against Connelly Early who made his MLB debut for the Red Sox.
After taking care of business against left-hander Jeffrey Springs and the Athletics on Monday night, the Tampa Bay Rays met their match against another familiar face on Tuesday, suffering a 6-0 shutout.
The stars were out in full force during the 2025 World Series. From Max Scherzer in Toronto to Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and of course, Shohei Ohtani, in Los Angeles, there was no shortage of the game's best under the brightest lights.
The A’s are coming off a big offensive performance in their series opener against the Washington Nationals. The 16-7 win was fueled by a record-setting three-homer day from Shea Langeliers.
The Athletics will not reach the goals they set out for themselves this season, which was to achieve an 81-81 record and gear up to compete in 2026. Now, they might trade away a handful of players at the 2025 trade deadline and reposition themselves.
The Athletics are not having a good season based on the preseason expectations. While they weren’t poised to hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy, more was expected from a group that posted an encouraging finish last season.
A’s righty Luis Severino is a known trade candidate after his struggles pitching at home in West Sacramento and his public criticism of the playing environment there, but he’s not the only A’s starter on the market this summer.
Not every trade a Major League Baseball team makes is going to work out. The Boston Red Sox have been on both sides of that equation many times over. Some of their best players right now (namely, Wilyer Abreu and Carlos Narváez) were acquired in trades before they were established big-leaguers.
The Toronto Blue Jays could use some pitching depth as they look to return to the postseason after missing the party last season. At 54-39, they sit atop the crowded AL East, two games above the New York Yankees, 4.5 up on the Tampa Bay Rays, and five up on the Boston Red Sox.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
As the 2025 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Oakland Athletics are once again positioned as clear sellers. The optimism from an aggressive offseason and a promising start has faded, replaced by the harsh reality of a roster that simply isn’t ready to compete.
Last December, the Athletics made a deal to acquire Jeffrey Springs from the Tampa Bay Rays shortly after they'd signed Luis Severino to a franchise record-setting contract.
TAMPA, Fla. — Jeffrey Springs spent four years in Tampa Bay, pitching for the Rays and establishing himself as a top-flight major-leaguer. It was the best time of his life.
An infusion of youth helped the Athletics earn a victory in Tampa on Monday. Now the A's will have two shots to win the three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays, starting with the middle contest on Tuesday night.
Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs didn't give up a run in his most recent start until the last pitch. With renewed confidence in his changeup, Springs will try to build off that outing in the series finale against the Tigers at Detroit on Thursday afternoon.
Coming into the season, Jeffrey Springs was one of two big additions to the Athletics starting rotation, along with free agent signee Luis Severino. Springs came to the A's in a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays and was an under-the-radar pick to potentially be the ace of the rotation before the season.
You are forgiven if the Athletics‘ 6-9 record to start the 2025 season doesn’t quite knock your socks off. This is a team that’s not expected to go very far this year, but incremental improvements over the past few seasons would be considered a win it itself.
After last night's Opening Day loss to the Seattle Mariners, the A's will look to get their offense going in Game 2. Tyler Soderstrom accounted for the entirety of the A's offense, smashing home runs one and two on the year, while rookie Jacob Wilson accounted for the only other hit from the Sacramento club.
Are the Athletics good now? At the very least, the team that once called Oakland home is attempting to get better, and quickly. Earlier in the off-season, they signed Luis Severino to a three-year, $67 million deal, the largest contract they’ve given out in franchise history.
The Tampa Bay Rays are finalizing a trade to send left-handed pitcher Jeffrey Springs to the Athletics, ESPN's Jeff Passan was first to report Saturday.
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed left-handed pitcher Jeffrey Springs on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Sept. 5, the team announced Sunday morning.
The Rays tied the modern-day MLB record with their 13th straight win to start a season. That's the good news. But a potentially devastating development came in the form of an injury to Jeffrey Springs.
