Bluesky. LOL

Lets say that Thomas beats out Bleday somehow - 1. Butler, RF 2. Wilson, SS 3. Kurtz, 1B 4. Rooker, LF 5. Soderstrom, DH 6. Thomas, CF 7. White, 3B 8. Langeliers, C 9. Gelof, 2B

I'm all for Colby Thomas or Clark being in the lineup but they would have to beat guys out. Rooker HAS to get a 4-year deal - and we will have Soderstrom at DH, so Rooker and Butler in OF means one of these guys has to beat out #2 overall pick JJ Bleday

You threw me off a little bit when you said that Colby Thomas hit 18 home runs last year and led the league I had to immediately check that

I like the projections.. Looking forward seeing Henry Bolte as well. It's either him or Clarke in CF in 2028. I like Daniel Susac too and if he continues to develop they'll have to trade him or Langeliers. Do you think they trade or let Gelof go in Free Agency. Pitching is the major projection and who knows with that. Great episode, thanks.

I think max muncy is the answer at 3rd base. I like schuemann, hernaiz and Harris but they are more like ultility players or backups. The A's need a upgrade at 3rd base

Booney, I understand the entire sick of the crap talk about the A's. I live in NY not the city but rural western new NY between Buffalo and Rochester it seems 100% of the baseball fans here love 2 things The Yankees and dishing on the A's. I've stopped arguing the A's value as there is no point its all Judge this Judge that or bringing up the past and the number 27. I started liking the a's because of Rickey was heart broken when he left but stayed true to them. i'll be an A;s fan if they go to Sacramento, Vegas, or Timbuktu. I also collect baseball cards my most cherished are my graded A's team sets I've put together doesn't matter if it's Philly, KC, or Oakland I love them all because they are the greatest team ever to play a baseball game!!!!

FJF That's all

BOONEY.......YOU SELLOUT ''F'' VEGASS..............''LOYAL TO THE SOIL'' OAKLAND ONLY

Sully is a very very tough act to follow, but I'm loving your knowledge and passion Booney

The haters ignored the fact that the Bay Area market did not support the team well for most of their nearly 60 years in Oakland. Today only the top 3 markets, NY, LA, and Chicago have 2 MLB teams. Bay Area #10 media market smaller, and especially impacted the A's as most fans support the Giants. The media and YT channel creators put all the blame on Fisher and ignored the market realities, the difficulties of doing business in Oakland, and the general atmosphere that led business and people to flee. The result is all major pro teams gone from Oakland. Now some YT channel creators have proudly claimed they are divorced from the team and won't follow them or watch any games. Maybe if they had been more honest about the whole situation, they would not have been motivated to take that step. They are punished by their own short-sightedness.

Hear you and understand! I'm tired of everyone genuflecting to the Mets, Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, and Red Sox. The WS is not guaranteed by payroll.

I love a fired up Booney. I wasn't going to renew my MLB package so I can watch the A's but this latest rant changed my mind. I have subscribed to the MLB package for a very long time, might as well continue. Like I mentioned in previous comments I live in Vermont and everybody here is mostly Red Sox or Yankee fans. Still quite a few Expo fans still but mostly Boston or NY.

This guy sucks not

Another great episode. Man I hated those trades with the Braves. Traded two high end gold glove position players and never got any of the Braves top prospects other than Langeliers. I realize they were forced into the trades by ownership not going to pay them but they could have done better.

Change the host!

A's will be in Vegas.

Enjoy the Sacramento area and may it bring success and victory in your pursuit of a title. I am in Las Vegas where they have just raised the cost of parking near where your "stadium" will be to $55.00 per day. Since 70% of those polled about whether they would attend an A's game came in at about 35% of Nevadians will never see a game their and another 30% said maybe. 65% are not very happy that the Trop is gone and an ever increasing cost of a mysterious "stadium" with another "stolen" team from Oakland. The Raiders play to a crowd which only consists of less than 50% of the crowd from Nevada and those who follow the team feel ripped off. They expect the same for the A's. And the fact that the Teacher's Union are suing the County for money wasted AND they have found themselves about 7 million short for the salaries of the teachers in the district is a problem that is metasticizing. And we are spending how much on the "stadium for the LV A's? 350 million county cash. Baseball tickets are way too expensive and the cost of the Strip is spiraling out of control in regards to expense and crime. We're suffering californication and it is a fatal disease...... You have a lot of selling to do to make the A's viable in Vegas......And I doubt you ever will........ Don't believe the politicians here. They are corrupt. After all, its Vegas man.

Fisher's a con man. I'll believe a Vegas stadium and A's move there when I actually see it.

I want them to sign jose quintana. Signing manaea or pivetta they would have to give up a draft pick. They already gave up their 2nd round draft pick for signing severino!!! They do need another starting pitcher

Interesting developments, for sure. Speaking of Interesting, David Samson's "Nothing Personal" podcast has insights on Severino (starts at 9:20).

Fjf. Its an insult to oakland that he refused to spend when here, in oakland, where the a's belong and then immediately give out the biggest contract in team history. He's a fraud and this is further indication that he negociated in bad faith. Oakland forever. I hope the post oakland era is a disaster.

Fjf. I want to see the post oakland era fail. Oakland forever.

Sean Manaea is my daughter's favorite player that would be awesome to bring him back

Sactown is happy we acquired a big player.Vivek is working behind the scenes

Where's the financing agreement?

Oh yeah, its all coming togather

Gerrit Crochet? Luis Robert? I would think about it if I was the A’s

FINALLY !!

Your loosing viewers

When they start construction, please have Sully back to eat some crow about the As never moving to Las Vegas

Interestingly, some escrow accounts do earn interest. In my state, I know real estate brokerage escrow accounts (holding client good-faith deposits) may earn interest if it is disclosed. In my experience, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in these accounts every month, there's no reason not to give that cursory disclosure to clients in the associated documents, as few care at all. Brokerages are under no obligation to pay interest to the clients whose money is held, either. In the A's/Fisher case, we don't know specifics, but usually, banks monitor pledged accounts constantly and/or require in-house account management. For a typical home transaction (mortgage), as many of us know, updated credit reports and the like are drawn before closing (along with other things like employment re-verification) to confirm there has been no material change in the borrower's condition.

I think a lot of the issue stems from ignorance, from many fans who likely have no experience in bank letters or credit/pre-approvals, much less a deal of this magnitude. A letter for public consumption will not list details, such as account balances. As you mentioned, no bank will issue such a letter without due diligence. It is similar to the inane bruhaha over President-elect Trump's Mar-a-Lago valuation. The banks know and make no moves without their independent valuation and evaluation of the creditworthiness of clients. The disclosure agreements are perfunctory, although one does have the obligation under law to be accurate based on generally accepted rationale.

It is stunning that the A's and Rays situations have nearly reversed. As the Las Vegas details are firmed up, it looks like a deadlock (at best) in Tampa Bay. Although the situation appears to be deteriorating, I suspect there will be a softening of positions as the initial ruffled feathers are soothed. Could Tampa Bay actually be so foolish as to lose their MLB team, which is, in fact, a huge hit to a city's viability and livability.

Really interesting show today. May I propose that winning a WS is 75% crapshoot. Too many layers, player interaction issues, who's hot at playoff time, injuries, on and on.

One thing I've learned about baseball for as many years as I've watched, worked, and played, is that when you learn to lose as a group, you eventually learn to win as a group. This can not be overlooked. It's something magical.

Bold prediction for sure. Pitching has to be on another level than they have had recently to fulfill this prediction. If they do get the above average starting pitching then I agree they have a chance. If not they will struggle to get to .500 in my opinion. Another great show. Keep up the good work.

Locked on nonsense predictions!

A’s AL West Champs? Bullshit, Yer dreaming

I think the A's have to wait till late January and February to sign free agents. Thats when baseball players get desperate to sign before spring training

Smaller ballpark gonna mean tickets $$$$$$ gonna price out blue collar fan…

Damn. Booney throwing some knowledge. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

I believe fisher and mlb controlled the narrative to portray the A's as a bad franchise to help him facilitate the move. He's a giant fan who's goal was to get the team out of the bay area. #fjf #fsfg

Thank you. One of three best teams in the last 50 years

Finally, a voice of reason on this channel, ty.

John Fisher is not a serious owner. His players don't like him and I'll bet the staff doesn't like him either. If I was a player I would take less money to play for just about any other team. What he's doing to both the A's and the Quakes is a disgrace. He's toxic and even though I'd been going to A's games for 50 years I have moved on from supporting the team. Talking about Walker doesn't seem to have aged well. One day later and dude's now sitting on 35 mil a year. Half the A's player budget lol. I applaud you for standing around to watch this happen. If they could have gotten a deal done at the port or in Fremont I'd still be a fan. One too many black eyes for me.

AC here... that was fun!

Im 100% on board with this off-season strategy. At all costs they can't trade their young studs. Let ownership overpay for a SP and 3B

The A's were considering signing Walker Buehler? What?

Ownership’s a JOKE Feel bad for the players
