Luis Severino expressed his dissatisfaction with the West Sacramento Athletics after signing a lucrative three-year, $67 million contract. He compared his experience in their minor-league stadium to a perpetual spring training environment, highlighting issues like small crowds and inadequate facilities. Severino's performance at home has markedly declined compared to his away games, which he attributes to the overall atmosphere and poor conditions. His grievances reflect a broader sentiment among players criticizing the ownership and operational standards of the A's.
Severino said, 'It feels like a spring training kind of game every time I pitch, and every time other guys pitch.'
The A's, of course, know all this, which is why they never reference the town or the ballpark in which they actually play their home games.
Severino, used to New York standards, pinpointed the reasons for his unhappiness, and they are all in where he works.
It’s neither surprising nor particularly scandalous, as other players from other teams have criticized the clubhouses, the mound, and the field.
