About this listen

The Jeff McNeil trade didn’t just land — it detonated takes everywhere. So we’re going LIVE again to sort through the noise, the reactions, the overreactions, and the parts people are completely missing. This second Locked On A’s show is about context: why the Mets moved him, why the A’s pounced, and why a deal that looks “quiet” on paper can shake up a roster fast. This isn’t a highlight chase. It’s a pressure move.

We’ll unravel what McNeil actually changes on the field, how he affects lineup construction, defensive flexibility, and clubhouse tone, and why this signals a very specific direction for the A’s right now. If you want the real baseball reasons — not timeline theater — this is the episode. We’re cutting through the chaos and telling it straight.
