Episode 194 -- It's the final Locked on A's of 2020! Jason goes over some A's New Year's resolutions for 2021 (hint: spend some money and get better) and let's you know what's coming to your ears in the new year.

In the second segment, it's all about reflection. Jason touches on some of the key moments that stand out from the 2020 MLB season, and just some of his own high points doing the podcast. A big thank you to both long-time and new listeners! You guys make this all worth it.

Episode 193 -- We take a look at one of the other options on the board to cover shortstop for the Oakland Athletics if Marcus Semien signs elsewhere. Andrelton Simmons is known for his glove, but is he still that same elite defender? There are some warning signs. Could the Padres wheeling and dealing lead to Trevor Story being on the trade block? Is he even attainable for the A's?

In the second segment we get some bad news out of the way before the calendar flips to 2021. There are reports saying the season could be delayed due to Covid concerns, but Jason calls BS.

Also, the San Diego Padres are just making all of the splashes the last 24 hours, with more to be expected.

Episode 192 -- Happy Festivus A's fans! Brice Paterik and Ryan Ladika join the show to celebrate the holiday and air some of their grievances about their Rangers and Rockies. Jason, Brice and Ryan also compete in feats of strength...sort of.

There's also plenty of other baseball talk in here, like what the heck are the Rangers doing this offseason, why it's harder to be a hitter on Colorado and Derek Jeter being overrated.

Episode 191 -- Matt George of Locked on Kings stops by to preview the Sacramento Kings upcoming season. Is Luke Walton their coach of the future? How do you go about using analytics in basketball? How good will southpaw-shooting 1st rounder Tyrese Haliburton be in 2021?

Matt also released this music video last week defending some of his spicier Kings takes, and it is honestly the best music video that has ever existed.

Episode 190 -- Last week a listener asked on Twitter how Josh Donaldson and Yoenis Cespedes should be thought of among the A's greats. Jason dives in, invents some math of his own, and gives you a way to make the case for each player on the A's Pantheon.

Jason also gets distracted by a name he'd never seen, Lafayette Napoleon Cross, and had to learn more about him. Turns out Lave Cross had some interesting fun facts related to both Philadelphia A's and baseball history!

Episode 189 -- In the last episode, "Chompin' at the Bit," we talked about hockey. In today's episode, "Chompin at the Mitt," the guys from Locked on Sharks ask Jason some baseball-related questions, including why the hot stove hasn't been turned on and "how Brett Lawrie is working out for us." Ah, Canadians.

In the first segment, Jason catches up with some of the news around the game, from around baseball, including the A's announcing their managers in the minor leagues heading into the 2021 season and Major League Baseball announcing that they'll be incorporating Negro League stats alongside MLB stats. Jason also goes over what's coming up on the show next week!

If you want to read more about the A's minor league coaching staffs, here is Melissa Lockard's article from The Athletic.

If you want to read more about the Negro Leagues news, here is Ben Lindbergh's piece from The Ringer.

Episode 188 -- Kyle and JD from Locked on Sharks stopped by to talk about the upcoming hockey season on today's episode of Locked on A's. We talk about San Jose's chances at making the postseason, the NHL bubble and some of our favorite Sharks of all time.

We also talk about hockey analytics, and Jason tries to relate them to baseball terminology to make them more accessible for the casual hockey fan. We also discuss how the minor leagues work in hockey, which sounds a lot like the minor leagues in baseball. It's a fun and informative chat with our friends from the South Bay!

Episode 187 -- Today, Jason goes over the moves that have been made by the other clubs in the AL West. The Mariners are making interesting moves while the Rangers are both selling off and adding pieces. The only thing that is for certain is that Texas is not going to be good in 2021.

In the second segment, the Houston Astros are losing a bunch of talent to the free agent market and haven't done a whole lot just yet to improve their club, so what is their outlook for next season? Also, the Angels have made a couple of moves and feel like they have a couple more on the way. Are they going to be AL West contenders?

Jason discusses how pitch tunneling could play a role for Dany Jimenez and how Ka'ai Tom feels like a solid addition for the A's 2021 squad. He also finds out which minor league outfielder is out of options and could be on the trade block before next season begins.
