    ONE LAST TIME: Booney Signs Off From Locked On A’s

    Tomorrow at noon isn’t just another episode — it’s the final chapter of a voice that refused to play nice, refused to follow the herd, and refused to let the A’s story get twisted into something it never was. This episode looks back at the journey: the rebuild debates, the financial truth bombs, the prospect hype trains, the stadium wars, and the endless fight to separate facts from noise. Expect reflection, raw honesty, and the kind of straight talk that built a community that cared more about reality than comfort.  But this isn’t a funeral — it’s a victory lap. The show will focus on where the A’s stand right now, why the future is brighter than people want to admit, and why the next era of this franchise is set up to shock baseball. Think of it like the last scene of a sports movie where the stadium lights are still on, the crowd is still buzzing, and you know the story isn’t over — it’s just moving to a new chapter.  Booney final show, Locked On As final episode, Locked On As Booney last show, Athletics podcast final episode, A’s podcast live show, Booney Locked On As goodbye, Athletics news 2026, MLB Athletics podcast, A’s future analysis, Las Vegas baseball future, Athletics roster 2026, A’s rebuild progress, MLB podcast live stream, Athletics community reaction, A’s franchise future, Booney podcast farewell, Locked On podcast network Athletics, MLB team relocation future baseball, A’s prospects future core, Athletics fan community podcast  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  2. THE FINAL 2 CHAIRS: Who Sits Down?

    5D AGO

    THE FINAL 2 CHAIRS: Who Sits Down?

    The A’s finally checked off the biggest box on the offseason grocery list: veteran starting pitching. Aaron Civale slides into a rotation that already had Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs, giving this team three proven big-league starters — something they flat-out didn’t have last year. And that matters, because starting pitching is like having reliable tires on a race car. If they blow out, the whole thing crashes. Civale brings experience (100+ career starts) and a track record of being a mid-rotation stabilizer, even if his career ERA sits around 4.14 and injuries have popped up at times, including forearm, wrist, and hamstring issues in recent seasons.  The real story, though, isn’t the top three — it’s the war happening behind them. Luis Morales looks like the favorite to grab one spot after flashing legit swing-and-miss stuff and confidence late last year, while Jacob Lopez feels like the upside play if healthy. And make no mistake: the A’s need this competition to work. The rotation posted a 4.85 ERA last season, bottom tier in baseball, and that number alone explains why this team hovered around mid-70s wins instead of sniffing October.  This season is about raising the floor. Not hoping five guys stay healthy. Not duct-taping innings together. Real depth. Real options. And if two young arms step forward, suddenly this rotation goes from “please survive” to “hey… this might actually play.  A's rotation battle 2026, Aaron Civale A's signing analysis, A's starting rotation competition, Luis Morales A's scouting report, Jacob Lopez A's breakout 2026, A's spring training rotation battle, A's pitching depth 2026 season, Luis Severino A's contract performance, Jeffrey Springs A's rotation role, A's playoff push pitching staff, A's starting pitching improvements, A's young pitchers MLB debut watch, A's roster battles spring training, A's pitching ERA improvement plan, A's contenders rotation breakdown Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  3. THE MYTH FACTORY: Why Modern Sports Was Never Built to Stay

    6D AGO

    THE MYTH FACTORY: Why Modern Sports Was Never Built to Stay

    The myth has always been simple: teams leave because they stop caring about fans. The reality is way more uncomfortable. This episode breaks down why modern sports franchises chase control — control of the building, control of the land, and control of the revenue machine that lives inside premium seating, naming rights, and year-round events. Using the Warriors arena shift and the A’s stadium journey as case studies, we explain why public stadium structures, legacy debt, and multi-agency approvals created financial ceilings that modern teams simply aren’t built to operate under anymore. This isn’t about betrayal. It’s about math versus emotion — and math doesn’t lose. Then we flip to one of the biggest myths in baseball history: how a team could draw huge crowds, win big, and still lose money. Using the Walter Haas era as the blueprint, we break down how low ticket pricing, weak local TV money, massive payroll spikes, and stadium revenue splits can create the ultimate sports business paradox: packed stands, championship rosters… and financial losses. If you’ve ever wondered why attendance doesn’t equal profit, or why stadium control matters more than ever, this episode connects all the dots in a way nobody explains. oakland sports myths, why teams leave cities, warriors move explained, as relocation explained, stadium economics explained, why attendance doesnt equal profit, sports business explained, stadium financing explained, public stadium vs private stadium, how sports teams make money, premium seating revenue sports, stadium naming rights revenue, chase center business model, las vegas stadium financing explained, howard terminal explained, why stadium deals fail, sports relocation truth, sports stadium debt explained, how cities pay for stadiums, sports franchise valuation explained, why packed stadiums lose money, walter haas as ownership finances, as history financial analysis, sports team operating losses explained, sports franchise asset value growth, modern stadium revenue model, sports real estate economics, why public stadium deals are risky, sports business myths debunked, sports economics for fans   Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  4. Low Drama, High Value: Civale’s Career Has Been Quietly Excellent

    FEB 10

    Low Drama, High Value: Civale’s Career Has Been Quietly Excellent

    The A’s added veteran right-hander Aaron Civale on a one-year deal worth about $6 million, with incentives that can push it higher — a classic “prove it and cash in” type contract. Civale, now 30, is coming off a 2025 season where he bounced between multiple teams and finished with a 4.85 ERA across 102 innings, showing flashes of reliability even in a chaotic year. Over his career, he’s built a reputation as a steady innings guy who doesn’t overpower hitters but instead survives on command, pitch location, and forcing bad contact. In simple terms: he’s the pitcher who wins by making hitters beat themselves instead of trying to blow them away.  Zooming out, Civale is a former third-round pick who debuted in 2019 and has logged more than 700 career innings in the majors. His career stat line shows a pitcher who usually keeps games under control — not dominant, not flashy, but capable of giving you competitive starts when healthy. The biggest storyline of his career has been durability: finger issues, forearm inflammation, wrist problems, oblique strains, and even a hamstring strain have popped up over the years. When he’s healthy, he’s a dependable mid-rotation type arm. When he’s not, he’s a frustrating “almost there” guy. That’s the gamble — but also why he’s available at this price.  aaron civale, aaron civale highlights, aaron civale athletics, aaron civale signing analysis, as free agent signing, as rotation 2026, mlb free agent pitchers 2026, aaron civale stats career, aaron civale injury history, mlb pitcher comparison civale, athletics pitching rotation news, mlb offseason signings 2026, aaron civale scouting report, veteran starting pitcher mlb, mlb pitching depth analysis, baseball free agency news, mlb transaction news today, athletics roster moves 2026, mlb veteran pitchers value signings, mlb rotation depth pieces  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  5. BOYS OF SUMMER: Baseball Is Back!

    FEB 10

    BOYS OF SUMMER: Baseball Is Back!

    Spring training isn’t just warm-up baseball — it’s where seasons quietly get decided before most fans are even paying attention. This episode is built around that idea. The crew breaks down why the start of camp matters, even when the standings don’t, and why this particular spring feels different. There’s real optimism around this roster, but it’s the little battles that could shape the entire year — the fifth starter race, the third base situation, and a bullpen that could be electric or chaotic depending on who throws strikes. The conversation leans heavily into the future, spotlighting young arms like Jack Perkins, Gunnar Hoglund, and others who could quietly become major pieces if things click. There’s also honest talk about volatility — especially with relievers who can dominate one week and lose the zone the next. That tension is part of what makes this roster fascinating. The second half shifts into something fans actually need: what spring training is really like if you go in person. Not the brochure version — the real version. Relaxed vibe, hardcore baseball fans sitting next to first-timers, prospects wearing random jersey numbers trying to change their lives. It’s baseball in its purest form. The episode closes on what spring always represents: clean slate, zero losses, and the dangerous kind of hope that only baseball can sell you. The tone is clear — this isn’t just another spring. This is the foundation of what the next version of the A’s is going to look like.

  6. SNEAKY GOOD MOVE: Barlow + Ibáñez = Depth, Grit, and Zero Spotlight

    FEB 7

    SNEAKY GOOD MOVE: Barlow + Ibáñez = Depth, Grit, and Zero Spotlight

    The A’s didn’t chase headlines — they chased solutions. This episode breaks down why the Scott Barlow signing matters way more than casual fans think, with Jeff Carr from Locked On Reds joining to give real insight from someone who watched Barlow pitch in pressure situations all season. The conversation gets into the good and the uncomfortable truth: swing-and-miss stuff, real late-inning experience, and the one factor that could decide everything — command. The big picture is simple: young bullpens lose games late. Veterans help you stop bleeding runs when the game gets loud. If the A’s want to turn close losses into wins, this is exactly the type of move that starts that shift.  Then the focus shifts to Andy Ibáñez — the kind of player contenders quietly rely on all year — before getting real about the Max Schuemann DFA and why the emotions around it are so complicated. Schuemann represents the grind, the underdog story, the guy fans want to succeed. But baseball isn’t built on feelings — it’s built on roster math, timing, and opportunity windows. The episode tackles the hardest question head-on: did he get a real shot, or did timing work against him? It’s honest, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s the reality of how big-league rosters actually work.  Scott Barlow A’s, Scott Barlow Athletics signing, A’s bullpen 2026, Jeff Carr Locked On Reds interview, Andy Ibanez A’s analysis, Andy Ibanez scouting report, A’s roster moves 2026, Max Schuemann DFA reaction, Did Max Schuemann get a fair shot, A’s offseason moves breakdown, Athletics bullpen upgrades, A’s depth signings analysis, Locked On A’s podcast, Athletics roster construction, A’s bullpen preview 2026, A’s infield depth chart 2026, MLB roster moves analysis, Athletics player development timeline, A’s front office strategy, A’s special live show analysis  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  7. FROM STOCKTON TO STARDOM: Tim Fitzgerald Voice of the Ports Breaks Down the A’s Future Stars

    FROM STOCKTON TO STARDOM: Tim Fitzgerald Voice of the Ports Breaks Down the A’s Future Stars

    Tomorrow’s future doesn’t start under the bright lights — it starts in Low-A Stockton, and this episode tells you exactly why. Booney sits down with Stockton Ports broadcaster Tim Fitzgerald to pull the curtain back on the A’s pipeline: who’s real, who’s close, and who might be the sneaky name that hits you out of nowhere. They dig into Dylan Fien as a switch-hitting catcher with real tools (but a lot still to prove), break down why Cole Miller’s “pitchability” is the kind of weapon that plays at higher levels, and spotlight recent draft bats Devin Taylor and Gavin Turley as guys who already look like pros even while they’re still adjusting to the “everybody throws hard now” reality of pro ball.  Then it gets spicy with the ultimate curiosity case: Shotaro Mori, the two-way talent everyone wants to compare to Shohei Ohtani (and why that’s not fair, but still fascinating). The episode also checks in on Rodney Green’s boom-or-bust profile — big tools, real questions — before Fitzgerald drops his sleeper list, including Max Durrington and a few arms who look more polished than their “low-level” label suggests. Bottom line: this show isn’t hype. It’s a roadmap. If you want to know who could be impacting the A’s in 2028, 2029, 2030 and beyond, this is the episode that puts names, context, and reality behind the future.  Athletics prospects, A's farm system, Stockton Ports prospects, A's future roster, A's minor league pipeline, Dylan Fien scouting report, Cole Miller pitching analysis, Devin Taylor prospect breakdown, Gavin Turley power hitter analysis, Shotaro Mori two way player, A's international prospects, A's draft development, A's top prospects 2026, A's minor league development system, A's future lineup projection, Locked On A's podcast, A's prospect sleepers, A's catching future, A's pitching prospects analysis, A's rebuild timeline, A's young core future, A's player development strategy, A's baseball future Vegas era, A's prospect interview, Stockton Ports future stars  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    THE WILSON DEAL: The Hidden Millions Still on the Table for the A’s

    Jacob Wilson just signed his extension — and instead of draining the budget, it exposed how much financial room the A’s still have to build something real. Tonight’s show breaks down the contract in plain English, why it’s actually team-friendly, and how it fits into the long-term vision of locking in a young core before they get expensive. This isn’t about one player — it’s about what this deal unlocks. In the second half, we run the numbers and show exactly how much money is still available this offseason. No spin. No excuses. Just real math, real payroll context, and real options. If the front office wants to win now and later, this is the blueprint. The narrative that the A’s are “handcuffed” financially ends tonight.
