Tonight on Locked On A’s Live, Booney breaks down why it’s time for the A’s to extend Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson — right now. The Red Sox just made waves by extending Roman Anthony early, and the A’s have a chance to follow that exact playbook before 2026 begins. These three young cornerstones represent the foundation of the Vegas Dynasty — Kurtz’s left-handed power, Soderstrom’s switch-hitting versatility, and Wilson’s smooth shortstop defense form a trio that can anchor the franchise for the next decade. Extending them early wouldn’t just be smart baseball — it’d be the boldest statement this organization has made in years: that the A’s are finally ready to build instead of rebuild. 

In this live episode, we’ll dive deep into the numbers, the psychology, and the precedent. Why Kurtz deserves to be the face of the Vegas era. And why Soderstrom and Wilson’s extensions would ignite fan confidence heading into Sacramento and beyond. This isn’t just contract talk — it’s culture talk. The A’s have their core; now it’s time to prove they’re keeping it.
