Get the latest news and rumors about the Oakland A's from Rant Sports.
Last week after a 3-for-3 game in which Chris Young was a triple shy of the cycle, Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin mentioned that he thought putting the floundering outfielder in the leadoff spot had “invigorated” him.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish hasn’t had many rough outings in his major league career thus far, but he has yet to figure out how to beat the Oakland Athletics. On Tuesday night, Darvish lost to the A’s 6-2, picking up his third loss of the season. Two of those losses have come at [...]

With that goofy smile permanently plastered across his face, and his habit of hurtling around the bases every time he hits a home run, it’s hard not to like a guy like the Oakland Athletics‘ Adam Rosales. From everything I can gather, Rosales is one of the most popular players on the club. The only [...]
The city of Oakland, California is in the midst of a dire battle against economic uncertainty and crumbling infrastructure which has had all kinds of unexpected effects, most recently, to the home of the Oakland A’s, the 46-year old Oakland – Alameda County Coliseum. Due to plumbing issues within the stadium, raw sewage has [...]
Tonight, the Oakland Athletics will begin a four-game series against their division rival Texas Rangers in Arlington, and the A’s can make a serious statement about their AL West aspirations with a strong series. Oakland heads into the series hot, at 42-29 and three games ahead of Texas for sole possession of first place in [...]
