Episode Details

The A’s kicked off their draft with a bang, landing Drew Burress in the first round—a potential superstar with a track record of success in drafting college bats like Jacob Wilson, who’s set to anchor their Vegas move in 2028. But it’s not just about the top pick: their second and third rounds were equally impressive. They snagged Mason Edwards, a USC lefty with elite stuff and a Zito-level curveball, to fix their bullpen woes. Then, in the competitive balance round, they pulled Gabe Gaeckle—a late-first-round talent with a nasty slider and high upside as either a starter or closer. This blend of offense and pitching firepower sets them up for a bright future, especially as they gear up for life in Las Vegas.
