Athletics News

The Athletics turned things around with a strong 5-0 victory over the Houston Astros, avoiding a sweep and ending their road trip on a high note. Gage Jump made waves with his second consecutive quality start, throwing 6 1/3 shutout innings and establishing himself as a promising force in the rotation. Offensively, Nick Kurtz and Brent Rooker added much-needed power with their home runs, providing a glimmer of hope amid the recent struggles. Despite the win, whispers of potential trades are swirling, with the A's eyeing Royals left-hander Kris Bubic as they look to bolster their roster before the deadline. With a 30-34 record, the A's need to build momentum quickly, especially as they prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers next.

Athletics Interested In Kris Bubic
Royals left-hander Kris Bubic is a player of interest for the Athletics in advance of the trade deadline, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes.  Bubic is a free agent after the season, and thus a logical trade candidate if the 27-39 Royals can’t get back into contention. The first order of business is Bubic’s health, as […]
