The Oakland Athletics were unfortunately unable to give their fans any reason to rejoice in the 2016 MLB season. Apart from struggling in their pitching and offense, the team was unable to perform on defense either. The farm system was also not that good, but has improved a great deal now. Finishing with a 69-93 record last season, the Athletics will soon be heading to spring training. There have been efforts to improve the roster. Recently, the A's traded Brett Eiber to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Jordan Tarsovich. Watch how he and the rest of the team perform in spring training at the recently renovated Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona.

Oakland Athletics Rivals

San Francisco Giants

The Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants games are referred to as the Bay Bridge Series, inspired by the famous San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that connects these two major cities. What makes this rivalry unique is that there is not a lot of animosity between the two teams or their fans. That is not to say that the games are not competitive when they face each other; the Athletics and the Giants have had some very competitive clashes over the years, and that should continue in the future as well.

Philadelphia Phillies

The City Series is the name given to the clashes between the Oakland Athletics and the Philadelphia Phillies. This is more of a historic rivalry, though it has died down somewhat. The games between these two sides were bitterly contested from 1903 to 1955.
