Can the Athletics Overcome Their One Fatal Slump to Defy Expectations Next Season?

Can the Athletics Overcome Their One Fatal Slump to Defy Expectations Next Season?

Offseason moves:

The biggest move the Athletics made was actually last year by trading away Mason Miller at the trade deadline and getting a haul from the Padres. They did make a series of smaller moves that will balance a bit of the young talent with some veterans. They added Jeff McNeil and Andy Ibanez to the infield. Their pitching additions of Aaron Civale and Mark Leiter are underrated signings for a pitching staff that needed to shore up some concerns.

Roster:

The headliner of this team is still Nick Kurtz who put together a great season last year. Kurtz hit .290 and blasted 36 homers in his rookie year. Can he replicate that, or will he have a sophomore slump? There are some good players on the rest of the roster. Max Muncy (not the Dodgers one), Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler, and even Brent Rooker are good offensive players. The rotation of Luis Severino, Civale, and Jeffrey Springs, should give reliability at the top. There are still some questions and needs, obviously.
