A’s GM David Forst Hints More Extensions After Tyler Soderstrom Deal

After the A’s gave Soderstrom a contract worth up to $86 million, GM David Forst said the club is already in “ongoing conversations with others.” “Locking them up into a new ballpark” is the plan, he said, after extensions for Brent Rooker, Lawrence Butler and now Soderstrom, with a blueprint to “open the ballpark in ’28.” Soderstrom also shrugged at a position shift: “I’m the best athlete on the team.”
