"From Skeptic to Believer: A’s Move to Vegas Explained"

Locked On A's - Daily Podcast On The Oakland Athletics

In this episode of Locked on A’s, Bunni addresses the surprising turn of events that contradicts his recent prediction about the Oakland A's move to Las Vegas. Just a day after stating that the team wouldn’t move to Las Vegas, news broke that team owner John Fisher and his family is committing $1 billion toward a new stadium in Vegas, with additional financial backing from U.S. Bank and Goldman Sachs. Bunni admits he was initially skeptical due to Fisher’s inability to secure outside investors but now accepts that the A's move to Vegas is all but certain. Despite this unexpected change, Bunni reaffirms his loyalty to the team, whether they play in Oakland, Sacramento, or Las Vegas, and feels relieved to shift focus back to baseball.

Shifting gears, Bunni dives into the recently released 2025 A's schedule, highlighting key series and crucial division matchups. With 60-night games, including an exciting lineup of marquee matchups against teams like the Yankees and Giants, the A's will have ample opportunity to capture fan interest. He also covers the A's latest trade, sending outfielder Daz Cameron to the Orioles. To wrap things up, Bunni explores what the 2025 starting lineup might look like without any major free-agent signings, comparing the new roster to past A’s players.
