A’s GM Search: Rizzo vs. Owens vs. Click | Perkins Shines in 2–1 Loss

Three GM candidates. One franchise-defining decision. And a Jack Perkins gem that deserved a better ending. LAST CALL: A’S POSTGAME goes LIVE tonight at 9:00 p.m. Pacific with Booney on The House Always Wins Media Network. Our lead story: the A’s have reportedly interviewed longtime Washington Nationals executive Mike Rizzo and internal candidate Billy Owens. With James Click also linked to the search, we’re comparing three very different directions for the franchise. Who brings the strongest plan? Who can improve pitching development, scouting and roster construction? And will the next GM have the authority and resources to make meaningful changes? Then we break down the A’s 2–1 loss in Tampa Bay. Jack Perkins delivered 6⅔ innings, eight strikeouts, just one walk and ZERO earned runs. Junior Caminero ended it with a solo walk-off homer in the ninth. A terrific start. A brutal finish. Last week, we laid out what the new GM should accomplish in the first 60 days. Tonight, we tackle DAYS 61–100: turning the evaluation into roster decisions, key hires, pitching-development improvements and a concrete offseason plan.
