Nick Kurtz is smashing Triple-A pitching like a big-leaguer stuck in the minors, and after torching the PCL for a .386 average with six bombs in nine games, the question isn't if he should be called up; it's why the hell not? On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the Kurtz Conundrum: what roster dominos need to fall, who might be out of a job, and why getting Kurtz to Sacramento, if we’re being technical, isn’t as simple as it sounds. DFA Pereda? Cut Seth Brown? Flip Miguel Andújar for pitching? The A’s front office has decisions to make, and we walk through every scenario like we’re sitting in David Forst’s chair.
We also dive into the A’s recent series against the Padres, where the team dropped two of three and looked completely lifeless in the rubber match. The heart of the lineup has gone missing, the “home” crowd in Sacramento is anything but, and the offense managed just two hits in a 2-1 loss that felt like a gut punch. But hey, the bullpen showed up, and Jacob Wilson extended his hitting streak to 14. With the Mets coming to town and a brutal schedule ahead, the A’s need answers fast—and Nick Kurtz might just be one of them.
