The Oakland Athletics have announced a three-year contract extension for manager Mark Kotsay, covering the 2026-2028 seasons with an option for 2029. Kotsay, who has served as the team's manager since 2022, previously coached for five years with the franchise. Despite a challenging 179-307 managerial record, the A's focus during Kotsay's tenure has been on rebuilding rather than winning, evidenced by their efforts to reduce payroll and develop younger talent in light of their expected move to Las Vegas.
Kotsay's managerial record is an ugly 179-307, win-loss records rarely tell the full tale of a manager's success (or lack thereof).
