Description

Tonight on Locked On A’s, we’re cracking open the trade vault and reliving the most polarizing deals in A’s history — the ones that made fans cheer, curse, or both in the same breath. From the Mulder-for-Haren heist to the Donaldson-for-Lawrie disaster, Booney’s handing out some fresh 2025 report card grades and re-evaluating the deals that defined entire eras of A’s baseball. Which trades aged like fine wine… and which ones spoiled faster than milk in the desert? This episode goes deep — not just into the stats, but the emotion, the fallout, and how each move shaped the franchise that refuses to die. 

And that’s not all — we’re also heading down to the desert for a full update on how the A’s top prospects are performing in the Arizona Fall League. Who’s turning heads, who’s struggling, and who’s positioning themselves to make the 2026 Vegas roster push? You’ll get the inside scoop, Booney-style — loud, honest, and unfiltered. It’s the ultimate mix of history, hype, and hard truths.
