Die-hard Athletics fan and friend of the podcast Aaron Cameron joined to discuss the Athletics’ recent developments, both good and bad. We also discussed the A’s coming to Chicago for a series opener on Jackie Robinson Day.

While we could’ve recorded for hours with many side quests, here is a bit of what our lively conversation consisted of:

• A temporary and frustrating move to Sacramento
• Growing pains and a disadvantage at home
• Will Las Vegas work?
• One last trip to the Oakland Coliseum
• Rating the offseason, did the A’s spend money?
• Contention windows
• Pitching matchups and the importance of a veteran pitcher
• Keys to winning a series
• Threats to the White Sox
• Fears heading into the series and bad bullpens
• What it’s like to have a love-hate relationship with the Angels
• Ron Washington, Will Venable, Grady’s Ladies, and a disdain for Mark Kotsay

If you don’t already follow Aaron, you can find him on Bluesky and X. Join us in our threads where we just talk about a bunch of old guys who played baseball.
