Part 2/9:
Reflecting on last year's winter meetings, questions swirled around the team's future and player retention without knowledge of their playing location for the upcoming seasons. Fast forward to today, clarity has finally emerged: the Athletics will play their games in a minor league facility in Sacramento before making the move to Las Vegas in 2025. Despite a rough road ahead, the consensus appears to be that the team can improve, potentially finishing with a .500 record, placing them squarely in contention come September.
