Can confirm A’s are hiring Cam Castro as their new GM. Castro previously worked for the Brewers in a few different roles since 2019, including senior VP of player development and performance the past two seasons. Long background in pitching. First: @Ken_Rosenthal
A’s announce Jeff McNeil and Jeffrey Springs both had their club options declined for 2027. Both are now free agents.
A’s also announced that RHP Henry Baez, RHP Joey Estes, RHP Geoff Hartlieb, C Brian Serven, INF Michael Stefanic, and OF Johnathan Rodriguez have cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas.
A’s infielder Max Muncy underwent successful left knee surgery today in LA. He’ll begin rehab immediately and is expected to be ready for 2027 Spring Training.
“What most excites me about this opportunity is the chance to build a team that can go out and compete for championships year after year.”
Taylor Smith made his first appearance as new A’s president of baseball operations on Wednesday in Las Vegas.

A’s owner John Fisher said hiring a general manager to work with new president of baseball operations Taylor Smith is “a definite possibility.”
Taylor Smith and A’s manager Mark Kotsay will have dinner tonight in Vegas. Smith: “From my conversations with Mark so far, he seems like a great guy. Someone who's hungry for all the information we can get [the coaching staff], and I think it'll be a great partnership.”
At 31, Taylor Smith is now the youngest head of baseball operations in MLB.

“It was like, we got our backs against the wall, and he said, ‘All right, I got you.’ … He is Cleveland.”
José Ramírez finally had his signature postseason series, and the living legend will now carry the Guardians into the ALCS swinging a hot bat.

I think 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBIs, two runs qualifies.
“José’s somebody you never count out. … We all know José’s one swing away from getting it going.”
José Ramírez hasn’t exactly been an October legend to this point. To keep their season alive, The Guardians could use a big signature performance from him. mlb.com/news/jose-ramirez-st…
