Surprisingly, I could see this. As you know by now, I'm high on the Rangers, I mean come on, they won the World Series two seasons ago and could very easily get back there if they can stay healthy, especially with Wyatt Langford and a healthy Jacob DeGrom this season. I could see the A's sneaking in with the Wild Card spot behind the Rangers, who I believe will be division champs. Even though they could make the playoffs, I do expect them to be a first round exit. This is a great young core but not enough experience to really do anything in the postseason in my opinion.
No, I completely see that happening. Even if the A's make the playoffs, they're not getting past the first-round stage. The only thing I slightly "eeeh" at is the fact the Rangers. I don't think they're good enough to win the division, and if anything, it's going to be the Astros or (maybe) the Angels (not likely). It COULD be the Rangers, but I wouldn't bet on them.
If the A's really do make the playoffs, and they do well in the wild card, then we're in for a RIDE in 2026. I'm excited about this team. I really am. Sucks that they went to SacTown at this time.
The division is also a lot weaker. Mariners look bad, Angels are the Angels, Rangers could be a decent threat but I'm not high on them, and the Astros are worse than they were the last couple of years.
Agree. However, I think they may just miss out because they are a young team and they don't have much experience. I am a huge fan of this team though and believe in Lawrence Butler and Mason Miller.
I think that's one of the reasons most people are doubting me on this post. Butler's 24. Rooker's in his prime. Miller's 26. So, yeah, I agree with you. They may not make it this season, that's why this is definitely an unpopular opinion, BUT, it's not impossible, and that's just what I'm trying to explain in this article.

I completely forgot to put that down here. I completely agree with what you're saying.
I agree! I’m actually working on my own article about the Athletics right now!
Thanks!
Yeah, I feel really good about the Athletics this year.
