CAN THE A'S LAND AN ACE?: PABLO LOPEZ OR HUNTER GREENE

The Locked On A’s 2025 Report Card Series keeps rolling, and this time it’s chaos in the classroom. Aaron Cameron graded. Salty Tom ranted. And now A’s Day host Joe Grotto joins Booney to challenge the GPA and stir the pot. Together they dive deep into Booney’s midseason grades, with spirited debates over Brett Rooker’s consistency, Hogan Harris’s future as a late-inning weapon, and Brett Harris’s defense. The duo also break down young arms like Jack Perkins and J.T. Ginn, exploring how this next wave of A’s pitchers fits into a suddenly crowded rotation puzzle. But things heat up when the conversation shifts from report cards to trade rumors. Grotto lays out an intriguing (and controversial) trade scenario for Reds ace Hunter Greene, while Booney counters with why the A’s could but likely won’t pull the trigger. They also discuss Pablo López as a more realistic rotation upgrade and how aggressive the front office needs to be if they want to compete by 2026. It’s a lively mix of analysis, banter, and honest frustration—everything you expect when Booney and Joe Grotto get behind the mic. A’s 2025 report card, Locked On A’s podcast, Booney Locked On A’s, Joe Grotto A’s Day podcast, Brett Rooker grades, Hogan Harris closer, Brett Harris defense, Jack Perkins scouting report, J.T.
