3/12/26	[NBC Sports Bay Area] - Athletics GM David Forst explains team's new mindset for extending star players. The Athletics are entering the 2026 MLB season with their young core secured long-term. The team had gained the reputation of drafting and developing star players, such as Matt Chapman and Matt Olson, then allowing them to either leave for free agency or trade them away due to financial reasons. Within the last two seasons, however, it seems that the tide has changed, where the A’s have delivered a flurry of contract extensions to several of their top players. “It definitely feels different. And it should,” Forst told . “We’ve all looked forward to this for a long time, and the reality of having those press conferences that we’ve had over the last year plus is, those are good days for the organization. Those are good days for the players.” The wave began with designated hitter Brent Rooker’s five-year, $60 million contract extension in January 2025. Shortly after, a new seven-year, $65.5 million deal in March 2025. “There are other players who can look at that now and say, ‘Hey, that, ultimately, can be me at some point,’” Forst told Drellich. “I don’t doubt there was a time when a lot of our guys were counting down the days till they had an opportunity somewhere else. And that’s never good for the long-term health of the organization.” Following a year of growth for the A’s in their first season playing in West Sacramento, the organization extended two of its cornerstone players in Tyler Soderstrom, who received an , and starting shortstop Jacob Wilson, who signed a . Aside from the 31-year-old Rooker, the A’s secured their top players who are 25 years old or younger, highlighting a common theme between the long-term deals. “You’re trying to sort of focus on what we consider the prime years, and the first couple free agent years, without going too far down the road for either side,” Forst told Drellich. “Letting the player get back to free agency at some point, while there’s still money to be made, but also letting the team minimize risk of going too far into their 30’s, things like that.” There also have been reports that the A’s have made a long-term contract extension , which would add another important piece to the team’s long-term plans. “We spend less time now on how much value you get in years three, four and five, as opposed to, OK, what price do we have to pay to lock a guy up in years six, seven, eight? And then the player has to be willing to do it,” Forst clarified to Drellich. “Everybody in the game knows that there are agents out there who tell their players there’s no price that’s worth giving up for your free agency years, and I respect that. It doesn’t work for everybody, but you have to find someone who is willing to negotiate that value.” With the organization gearing toward a move to Las Vegas, it’s imperative for the A’s to build a product on the field that would draw as many fans as possible to the new ballpark. “It’s important as we get into the ballpark in Vegas, that we’re not losing guys to free agency the way we have for so long,” Forst added. The A’s certainly will have one of the best starting lineups in the majors, headlined by Rooker and their young core of Butler, Soderstrom, Wilson and Kurtz. If their overall pitching improves from last season, the A’s have the opportunity to become one of the fastest-rising teams in the entire MLB.

9/02/25	Giants' Rafael Devers opens up about playing third base for first time in 2025. In one of the most surprising twists of this MLB season, the San Francisco Giants are alive and kicking in the National League playoff picture.

The Giants have now won nine of their last 10 games and are just five games out of the last wild card spot with less than a month to go in the regular season.

8/23/25	Giants activate 3B Matt Chapman (hand) from IL. August 23 - The San Francisco Giants activated third baseman Matt Chapman from the 10-day injured list Saturday and optioned infielder Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento. Chapman, 32, has been out since Aug. 13 with right hand inflammation after he batted .229 with 16 home runs and 44 RBIs in 96 games. Before landing on the IL, he had a rough 14-game stretch, batting .143 with no home runs and just two extra-base hits. Over nine career seasons with the Oakland Athletics (2017-21), Toronto Blue Jays (2022-23) and Giants, Chapman is a .240 hitter with 198 home runs and 548 RBIs in 1,118 games.

8/16/25	Giants get positive Matt Chapman, Casey Schmitt injury updates. The Giants' nightmare homestand continued Friday with a 7-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, their sixth straight defeat and 14th loss in their last 15 games at Oracle Park. While the loss added to San Francisco's misery, there was at least some positive news on the injury front for infielders Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt. Chapman, the Gold Glove third baseman who has been fighting through pain since spraining his right hand in June, landed back on the injured list before the game with inflammation. “It's something that kind of has to scar over,” Chapman explained, noting he sustained three tears in his hand earlier this summer.

8/15/25	Giants' Matt Chapman lands on IL with hand injury. The San Francisco Giants moved third baseman Matt Chapman to the 10-day injured list after he struggled to regain full strength from a right-hand injury. Chapman initially hurt his hand on June 8 while diving back to first base against the Houston Astros, an injury that sidelined him for 23 games earlier this season. Since his reinstatement, Chapman appeared in 31 games but batted just .200 with a .655 OPS, hitting four home runs. This slump coincides with broader team struggles as the Giants have scored only 1.8 runs per game over a 14-game stretch since July 12 and are hitting a mere .146 with runners in scoring position during that span.
