The A’s kicked off their festive week by snagging Florida State lefty Jamie Arnold with the No. 11 overall pick in the MLB Draft. Arnold, a former high-strikeout phenom turned Friday-night anchor, posted a sterling 2.98 ERA over 15 starts this spring, netting 119 punchouts and earning First‑Team All‑ACC and All‑American honors. His fastball, sitting in the mid‑90s and touching 97 mph, marries pinpoint control and a slinky sweep-slider—archetypal traits of a true ace in the making .

That momentum carried right into West Sacramento, where the A’s closed out their pre–All‑Star break series by taking down the Blue Jays 6–3 at Sutter Health Park. Jeffrey Springs delivered 6⅔ solid innings, while Tyler Soderstrom, Nick Kurtz and Austin Wynns all went deep for multi-run homers. The win marked their first series finale shutout of the break, poking a dent in Toronto’s form and sending Sacramento into pause mode with a serious swag.
