Transplanted Bay Area fans excited to see A's in Las Vegas exhibitions
Romeo Zaragoza until a year ago lived in the Bay Area, and like two teams dear to his heart, he found his way to Las Vegas. First it was the Raiders leaving Oakland for Las Vegas before the 2020 season, and in roughly four years the Athletics will join them. With the A's on Friday night playing the first of two exhibitions at Las Vegas Ballpark against Milwaukee, Zaragoza wanted to catch them in person.

Andujar homers twice, Boyle and Estes shine in A's Cactus League win over Angels
The A's had nothing to lose when they claimed Miguel Andujar off waivers over the winter. But with Opening Day rapidly approaching, the largely under-the-radar move keeps looking better and better. Andujar has been one of the A's hottest hitters in camp, and on Wednesday he hit a pair of home runs and drove in four runs in Oakland's 12-5 win over the Anaheim Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. Andujar, 29, appeared poised for stardom with the New York Yankees when he was runner-up to Shohei Ohtani for the American League Rookie of the Year in 2018. But injuries and inconsistency have mostly derailed Andujar's career path every since. Andujar has appeared in more than 36 games in

Medina to miss start of A's 2024 season with Grade 2 MCL sprain
The Athletics are eager and ready for a fresh start in 2024 following two consecutive 100-plus loss seasons, but at least temporarily, those plans won't include starting pitcher Luis Medina. Medina sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee, A's manager Mark Kotsay said Wednesday, and will begin the 2024 MLB season on the injured list. The 23-year-old righty exited his most recent spring training start in Oakland's loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday after pitching just 1 1/3 innings.
