We cover the latest MLB standings and playoff picture, where the Astros, Blue Jays, and Tigers lead the American League divisions, and the Phillies, Brewers, and Dodgers lead the National League. We break down the AL and NL Wild Card races, including the A’s position 11 games back of the third spot, and discuss the debut of Giants rookie Drew Gilbert after being acquired from the Mets at the trade deadline.

The A’s are making history as the only MLB team this season with four players hitting 20+ home runs — Brent Rooker (24), Nick Kurtz (23), Shea Langeliers (23), and Tyler Soderstrom (21). We also reveal our Hitter Power Rankings, with Kyle Schwarber, Nick Kurtz, and Shohei Ohtani taking the top spots.

The A’s made the biggest move of the MLB Trade Deadline — and it might change the franchise forever.

In Episode 18 of BLEAV in A’s, Tyler and Devin (with Luke on vacation) react to the massive trade that sent Mason Miller and JP Sears to the Padres in exchange for Leodalis De Vries, MLB’s No. 3 overall prospect, and three promising pitchers.

It’s the kind of deal you rarely see at the deadline — a reliever flipped for a potential superstar. We dive into everything it means for the future of the A’s in Sacramento, plus cover all the major trades around the league and the team’s dominant 16-7 win over the Nationals.

We dig into:

The shocking Mason Miller trade

Who is Leodalis De Vries and why he’s a big deal

The MLB Trade Deadline is almost here, and the A’s have big decisions to make.

In Episode 16 of BLEAV in A’s, Tyler, Luke, and Devin break down what the front office might do as July 30 approaches — including potential trades involving Luis Severino, Luis Urías, and Miguel Andújar.

With the team sitting at 42–61 and the pitching staff near the bottom of the league, the A’s could look to sell off short-term vets and retool around their young offensive core. But what happens if they can't find any takers — or if the offers are underwhelming?

We dig into:  Severino’s future after bashing the A’s ballpark

Urías’ trade value & Gelof’s looming return

Andújar’s rehab assignment & potential fits (Padres?)

Will the A’s package players for better returns?

Are Mason Miller & JP Sears off-limits?

The BLEAV in A’s crew is back for Episode 14!

Tyler, Luke, and Devin recap a tough week for the Athletics — dropping three straight games (1 to the Guardians, 2 to the Rangers) — and dig into what might be the only bright spot of the season: Nick Kurtz.

After hitting .583 this week and extending his hit streak to 9 games, the 22-year-old first baseman is putting up video game numbers. Is he already the best 1st baseman in Major League Baseball?

We break it all down — from Kurtz’s elite approach against Jacob deGrom to his league-best OPS among rookies — and ask if he’s the new cornerstone of the franchise.
