MESA, Ariz. -- As soon as Nick Kurtz stepped onto the practice field with the Athletics last year for his first big league Spring Training, he was so advanced as a hitter that the sense around camp was that it would not be long until he debuted in the Majors.

[The Score] - Report: A's make long-term extension offer to Kurtz.

Rafael Devers (DH/1B - SF)

2/25/26 5:03 PM -
[NBC Sports Bay Area] - Where Giants, Athletics rank among best projected lineups for 2026 MLB season. The 2026 MLB season is fast approaching, and both the Giants and the Athletics have put themselves in a prime position offensively. In ahead of the upcoming season, San Francisco was listed at No. 17 with a projected lineup wins of 81.0. Meanwhile, the younger A’s team was ranked higher at No. 6 with a projected lineup wins of 84.1. The Giants added and this offseason, adding to the core of Rafael Devers, Willy Adames and Matt Chapman. “Apparently, the Giants are too slow to get injured,” ESPN’s Bradford Doolittle wrote. “So expect to see a lot of the same players standing around day after day playing station-to-station offense for a team with middling power. “The depth of the lineup, illustrated here by the star count, looks like a plus.” While veteran hitters headline San Francisco’s lineup, the A’s will be carried by its impressive core of young players, such as 2025 AL Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom and Jacob Wilson. The Athletics also in a trade with the New York Mets, adding another veteran presence alongside two-time MLB All-Star slugger Brent Rooker. “Slow and strong,” Doolittle wrote. “Isn’t this kind of what you think about when it comes to a contention-worthy Athletics lineup? “The patience part of the dossier is not really on brand for the A’s, however, and you do wonder if maybe there is some progress to be made in that department considering the youth up and down the batting order.” There are concerns with both teams, including the Giants’ baserunning and depth, as well as the Athletics’ patience and durability. But with strong hitters on both projected starting lineups, expect San Francisco and the Athletics to effectively produce on the offensive side of the ball.
