Part 3/7:
The conversation shifts focus to the recent signing of Luis Severino by the Oakland Athletics—a groundbreaking deal valued at three years for $67 million, which sets a franchise record. Trevor admits he was surprised by the financial commitment but acknowledges Severino's return to form last season. Chris critiques the Athletics' location choice, as the team transitions to Sacramento amidst stadium uncertainties.
Both hosts reflect on the implications of this deal for a franchise that has lost several star players in recent years due to financial constraints. Disappointment for Oakland fans lingers as they watch the organization finally open the checkbook while leaving behind a long-term home in Oakland.
