In Episode 8 of BLEAV in A’s, Tyler, Luke, and Devin react to a huge week for the Athletics — taking two of three from the Rays and officially calling up top prospect Colby Thomas. We break down Thomas’ first MLB hits, standout defense, and why he looks like a future star in Sacramento. We also go in-depth on Shea Langeliers’ return, Max Muncy’s clutch homer, and Mason Miller’s dominance in the closer role.

Then we shift to Luis Severino’s trade rumors after his continued criticism of the A’s ballpark in Sacramento and discuss what his future holds. Plus, we spotlight Jacob Wilson being voted as the first-ever rookie shortstop to start an MLB All-Star Game and dive into how video games may be part of his success. We wrap with upcoming matchups, favorite A’s memories, and what fans should expect as the trade deadline nears.
