The Athletics baseball team, known for their budget-conscious approach, might be making a surprising move this offseason. Despite expectations of a quiet period, reports suggest they could increase their payroll by thirty million dollars for the 2026 season. This potential spending could come from acquiring players through trades or signing free agents. The team, along with the Pirates and Marlins, has been compared to college freshmen with new credit cards, indicating an uncharacteristic willingness to spend. If they add twenty-five million dollars or more, it could lead to substantial new acquisitions, such as Nick Castellanos, who is owed twenty million dollars by the Philadelphia Phillies and is a trade candidate.
