Oakland Athletics
The Athletics have dropped Oakland from their name as they prepare to move to Las Vegas, temporarily playing in West Sacramento. The team made big moves over the summer, signing Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler to long term deals and acquiring Luis Severino and Gio Urshela. Rooker was the top power hitter last season with 39 home runs, while Butler had a breakout year. Shae Langeliers and JJ Bleday are expected to contribute in the lineup, and Gio Urshela will start at third base. Jose Severino, the team's Day One starter, signed the largest guaranteed contract in team history. With a weak bullpen, the Athletics have work to do to improve on their 25th ranked ERA of 4.37. Oakland has a power ranking of 30, ranking 26th in offense and 24th in defense, currently holding a record of 64-98.
