"The A's have also opened extension conversations with Shea Langeliers. The latter two players would be the most difficult to extend. Langeliers is into his arbitration window."
"Kurtz is coming off an otherworldly rookie season and would require the A's to shatter their franchise record contract. The Post's Jon Heyman wrote last night that the offer was well into nine figures, adding that it's believed to have landed in the $130MM range."
"Despite being called up in late April, Kurtz earned a full year of service time with last season's Rookie of the Year win. The A's have him under club control through 2030."
The A's have secured long-term contracts for Brent Rooker, Lawrence Butler, Jacob Wilson, and Tyler Soderstrom ahead of their move to Las Vegas in 2028. They are in talks with Shea Langeliers and Kurtz, who is coming off a successful rookie season. Kurtz reportedly declined a nine-figure offer around $130MM. He is under club control until 2030 and has already received a $7MM signing bonus. The A's have previously extended players with less than two years of MLB service, with contracts ranging significantly in value.
