Filled the Pirates & Rockies, had the A's open up if anyone is interested.

Team description:
Oakland Athletics - 82-80 5th in the AL West
The A's have a budget of $198,000,000 (for 2050) which is tied for 15th in the league and a current payroll of $150,147,460 which ranks 12th. They have a maxed development budget of $30,000,000 and a big scouting budget of $15,000,000. They finished last in the AL West, perhaps the toughest division in all of the BLNA where every team finished above .500. In terms of prospects they ranked 23rd overall placing two players in the Off season top 100. LF Ben Lesnick a 24 year old who was a 2nd round pick in 2047 and is MLB ready now is ranked 56th and SP Chris Pacheco, a 22 year old lefty who was a former 4th round pick in 2048, who is also MLB ready now is ranked 71st. They hold the 15th overall pick in the 2050 draft and should be able to add an impact player at that position. Offensively they are lead by 1B Jarrod Walker who is a 2 time allstar who hit 47 HR and had 121 RBI last season. He is just 27 ears old and is one of the best hitters in the BLNA. They also have 26 year old 3B Skyler Scott, who is coming off a 37 HR season who put up 4.1 WAR for the A's last season. On the pitching side 29 year old SP Sergio Lizcano is coming off an All Star season that saw him win 14 games and put up 6.7 WAR, paired with 27 year old SP Honza Hostasa who had 12 wins and 4.7 WAR last season gives them a formidable 1-2 punch at the top of their rotation. The A's are in good shape financially and are a competitive team in the ultra competitive AL West.
