Tigers Throttle A’s for Sweep, Kurtz Meeting Hand Specialist, Acquired RHP Seth Johnson, Cincinnati Reds Series Preview Introduction

Hey there A’s Day fans! Today, we start by recapping the weekend series to conclude the homestand and share our thoughts on the Detroit Tigers completing the three game sweep. Yesterday, Nick Kurtz was scheduled to meet with a hand specialist on his injured thumb in Los Angeles as we share our belief on his future outlook for 2026. With the trade deadline come and gone, the A’s essentially stood pat as promised following GM David Forst’s comment but did complete one deal. We briefly touch upon the A’s acquiring RHP Seth Johnson from the Phillies in exchange for OF Colby Thomas. To conclude, we preview the next opponent up as the A’s are on the road again this time they are prepping for a three game set against the Cincinnati Reds. Holy Toledo, let’s go A’s!
