Bleav in A's

It’s a solo episode this week as Tyler breaks down everything happening with the A’s as the 2025 season enters its final month. The focus is on the opener against Seattle, where 22-year-old right-hander Luis Morales impressed in just his fourth MLB game (third career start), tossing six innings of two-hit, one-run baseball with six strikeouts and no walks. Morales, the A’s No. 3 prospect, has rocketed through the system since signing out of Cuba in 2023 and looks like a major piece of the future.

At the plate, Brent Rooker hit his 26th home run of the year in the first inning, while Jacob Wilson returned from injury, hitting fifth in the order and driving in a run. Nick Kurtz batted leadoff, continuing his strong rookie season.

With two more games against the Mariners on the road before hosting the Tigers in Sacramento, Tyler also discusses what’s left to watch for in the final month and whether this season can still be viewed as progress for the A’s despite the standings. As always, he closes with the Favorite A’s Memory segment.

Topics covered:

A’s recent games vs Mariners

Luis Morales’ breakout start

Rooker’s 26th HR and Wilson’s return

One month left in the season outlook

Upcoming games vs Mariners and Tigers

We’re back in the KUBU Radio studio for Episode 22 of BLEAV in A’s! Tyler, Luke, and Devin break down the A’s recent win over the Twins, highlight Jacob Lopez’s strong outing, and discuss whether the Athletics might already have the best young core in Major League Baseball.

From Nick Kurtz and Jacob Wilson to Shea Langeliers, Max Muncy, and top prospect Leo De Vries, this roster is loaded with emerging stars. With more talent waiting in the minors — and a farm system stacked with pitching prospects like Gage Jump, Jaime Arnold, and Luis Morales — could this be the foundation for the A’s next playoff run?

We also dive into:

A’s vs Twins recap (Langeliers’ 27th HR, Kurtz RBI double)

The case for the A’s as MLB’s top young core

Playoff hopes for 2026 and beyond

Potential MLB league expansion & realignment

Plus, we highlight promising young talent like Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker, Shea Langeliers, and rising prospects in the minors that have this A’s team on the verge of something special.

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?

Plus:

the latest roster moves, speculation from MLB insiders, and predictions for how this deadline will shape the A’s path to Vegas.

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.
