A’s fans are buzzing as Nolan Arenado trade rumors swirl—could the A’s land another aging star, or is this just more front office chaos? Booney breaks down MLB.com’s surprise inclusion of the Athletics among top landing spots for Arenado, with JD Hafron revealing why the Cardinals are ready to move on. Hear insider insights on Arenado’s declining power, his no-trade clause, and whether his California roots could tempt him to Sacramento—especially if an extension is on the table. 

The conversation heats up with a look back at the missed opportunity of Sonny Gray, dissecting the A’s pitching strategy, trade assets, and value in the current market. The episode finishes with a bold blueprint for transforming the franchise: extending core prospects like Nick Kurtz, Jacob Wilson, and Tyler Soderstrom to rebuild trust and ignite the Athletics' fanbase. Will the A’s finally commit to building a future worth rallying around?
