The 2025 MLB Draft is almost here, and the A’s are on the clock with the 11th overall pick. In this jam-packed episode of Locked On A’s, Booney breaks down the top prospects expected to be available when the A’s makes its selection. From dynamic college bats like Arizona outfielder Brendan Summerhill to power arms like Oklahoma’s Kyson Witherspoon, we cover the scouting reports, comps to current MLB players, and why each guy could be a franchise-altering pick. There’s also a deep dive into team needs – spoiler alert: it’s pitching, pitching, and more pitching – and how that could shape the front office’s draft board.

But it doesn’t stop with Round 1. We dig into potential second-round steals at pick #48, sleepers who could pop in the fourth and fifth rounds, and the impact of not having a third-rounder this year. Whether it’s high-upside prep bats like Xavier Neyens or college standouts like Max Belyeu and Luke Stevenson, Booney lays out a roadmap of what the A’s could (and should) do over all 20 rounds. You’ll get the comps, the analytics, and the front-office mindset behind every possible move.

Plus, we set the stage for tonight’s 9:00 PM LIVE show, where you – the fans – get to jump in and play GM. Bring your bold predictions, favorite prospects, and draft hot takes to the table. This isn’t just a preview – it’s a war room simulation with the most diehard A’s fans on the planet. Subscribe now, smash that like button, and let’s draft the future of the green and gold together.

Seattle Mariners emerge as AL West favorites—can Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh power the club to a pennant amid fierce competition? The division’s outlook heats up as the Houston Astros aim to reclaim their dominance with a new-look rotation and Jeremy Peña’s breakout potential, while the Texas Rangers bet on Corey Seager’s MVP chase and deep pitching staff to stay in the playoff hunt. Anaheim’s hopes hinge on Zack Neto’s rise and a revamped coaching roster, as the Oakland Athletics seek a resurgent 82-win season powered by Nick Kurtz and fresh long-term deals.

Sully, Jon Frisch, Brice Paterik, Ty Gonzalez, and Brett Chancey debate roster depth, offseason moves—including the Mariners nabbing Brendan Donovan and the A’s landing Jeff McNeil—and identify bold predictions and red flags for each team. Will the Astros keep their dynasty alive, can the Angels’ rotation shock the league, and will the Mariners finally deliver a parade to Seattle? Don’t miss this action-packed AL West preview.
