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

17-03-2023 • 33 mins

Episode 542 -- The A's have yet to name their Opening Day starter, so today Jason makes the case for that starter to be Japanese right-hander Shintaro Fujinami.

Then, Paul Blackburn, Freddy Tarnok, and Manny Piña are all dealing with injuries and could be out for varying lengths of time. We go over how each injury impacts the roster.

Finally, it appears as though Cristian Pache will make the Opening Day roster, but now the question is who will make it between Esteury Ruiz and Brent Rooker.
