In today's episode of Locked On A's, host Booney dives into the ongoing chatter about John Fisher and the A’s uncertain move to Las Vegas, despite vowing to avoid the topic. With speculation swirling about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays potentially eyeing Vegas due to their stadium issues, Booney reflects on what the move means for A’s fans and their identity. While the idea of rebranding the team remains a concern, Booney reassures listeners that her unwavering support for the A's—whether in Oakland, Vegas, or Sacramento—will not change. This heartfelt take highlights the emotional resilience of fans facing uncertain times.

Later, Booney breaks down the A's decision to re-sign Seth Brown to a one-year deal, analyzing its implications for the team’s 2025 roster. Brown’s versatility, leadership, and left-handed power make him a key asset as the A’s navigate their rebuild. Booney explores potential platoon scenarios with Miguel Andújar and the mentorship role Brown could play for young talents like Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof. While it’s not a headline-grabbing move, Booney argues that keeping Brown is a smart step in building a bridge to the A’s future.
