Scott Boras looms large as the Athletics weigh their future—can the A’s finally lock down franchise cornerstones like Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers, or will history repeat itself? Booney spotlights how player agency dynamics and Boras’s notorious negotiation tactics could force the A’s to break spending habits, with the team’s Sacramento-to-Vegas transition and revenue-sharing rules adding pressure to spend on real roster talent. 

Get insider breakdowns of rising A’s prospects from the Arizona Fall League, as Booney assesses Nathan Detmer’s struggles, Joshua Kuroda-Grauer’s breakout, Tommy “Tanks” White’s defensive improvements, and Ryan Lasko’s offensive surge. Will the A’s invest in a true core or risk losing its brightest stars to bigger markets? This episode challenges every narrative about the A’s, their finances, and their commitment to winning in baseball’s new era.
