The Oakland Athletics missed the postseason for the fourth straight year after finishing 69-93 and fourth in the American League West.
The Athletics have had their fair share of struggles over the past few seasons, losing by over 100 games in two of the last three seasons.
While the 2024 season didn’t fare much better, it was also their last season playing in Oakland.
The Athletics will play the 2025 season in Sacramento, California while their new stadium is built in Las Vegas, and they will mark it with a special uniform patch.
“The A’s will wear a newly designed sleeve patch featuring the iconic Tower Bridge behind the ball in right field, along with the word ‘Sacramento’ in script, all in the team’s classic green and gold,” Vegas Sports wrote Today’s Mike Dixon on X.

While the 2024 season was an emotional one for many Athletics fans, players, former players and staff, the team will get a fresh start in Sacramento before eventually moving to their permanent location in Las Vegas.
The Athletics made some notable signings this offseason, including pitchers Luis Severino, Jeffrey Springs and TJ McFarland and third baseman Gio Urschella.
Some of these moves could benefit the team as they seek their first AL West title after a shortened 2020 season.
Things will look different for the Athletics in 2025, but the team hopes to return the organization to a competitive level in their new home.
