Despite a seven-win improvement in 2025 (76-86) from 2024 (69-93), the Athletics are still not a playoff team. The acquisition of infielder Jeff McNeil adds veteran leadership to a young roster, which includes Brent Rooker and newly extended outfielder Tyler Soderstrom. Soderstrom’s seven-year, $86 million contract is a franchise record, reflecting his breakout season with a .276 average, 25 home runs, and solid defensive play.
