Athletics News
The Athletics wrapped up their road season with a gut-wrenching 1-0 loss to the Cleveland Guardians, leaving them with a dismal 1-6 record over the last week and a staggering run differential of -36. Jack Perkins, despite not getting the support he needed, showcased promise on the mound, managing to hold the Guardians in check even after a controversial ejection of manager Mark Kotsay. This defeat not only marks another low point for a team floundering at 61-94, but it also emphasizes the urgency for change as the A's begin their search for a new general manager, interviewing potential candidates like Mike Groopman and Taylor Smith. With the offseason looming, fans can only hope for a brighter future as this cold stretch highlights the need for major adjustments.
