5/19/24 [NBC Sports Bay Area] - How A's pitcher Sears used pandemic to further his MLB career. Programming note: Brodie Brazil’s full “All A’s” interview with JP Sears will air at 10 a.m. PT Sunday before “A’s Pregame Live” on NBC Sports California, and again after “A’s Postgame Live.” JP Sears made the most out of the COVID-19 pandemic. A at the time, Sears didn’t compete in any games during the infamous shortened 2020 MLB season, but was sure to stay busy in the hypothetical lab. In the latest episode of “All A’s,” the 28-year-old lefty detailed his development during the pandemic to NBC Sports California’s Brodie Brazil. “So, I didn’t play that year,” Sears told Brazil. “I tell a lot of people that, you know, obviously, COVID was a bad thing as far as the virus, but as far as the time off for me, it made me a lot better. Like, I got to be a much better baseball player in that time. I worked with some guys that helped me out a lot. I really — I feel like I used a lot of time to In 2019, It wasn’t in the best shape. I went into the 2021 season feeling better than I ever have. And so I, I just used that time to get a lot better and work on my mechanics. “So, I feel like I benefited a lot from it.” Sears went 4-4 with a 4.07 ERA for the New York Yankees’ High-A affiliate, the Tampa Tarpons, in 2019 before the pandemic halted the world. But after returning to action in 2021 following a one-year hiatus filled with personal strides, Sears was a different pitcher. That season, he finished 10-2 with a 3.46 ERA in 104 combined innings between Double-A and Triple-A. While not pitching in a single game in 2020 was an odd experience for Sears — like it was for many athletes — stacking repetitions made his return to action easier. “No, I found it, I found it early on in 2021,” Sears said about rhythm. “You know, maybe a little bit more nerves or jitters in spring training, just because I’m like, ‘Oh, wow. It’s been a minute. It’s been a while, yeah.’ But I tried to emulate a lot of [live action] in the offseason, towards the end closer to the spring training just so that I’d be a little bit more prepared [since I hadn’t] played [in] so long.” Sears’ strides between 2019 and 2021 didn’t just lead to improved ERAs and win-loss records. They also led to a spot in the majors. In 2022, Sears made his MLB debut for the Yankees before ultimately being that August. Since then, Sears has been a key part of a , currently with 270 1/3 innings for the A’s. As of May 17, for the 2024 A’s, starting in all nine of his appearances. No one ever will know what Sears’ career would have looked like had he not made the best of a bad situation, and so far, it seems to be paying off.

4/05/24 [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Canha denies staring into A's dugout after his homer in Tigers' win. left the Athletics in free agency after the 2021 MLB season on good terms, but for a few moments Friday, his reaction after a sixth-inning homer led some to believe he felt a certain way towards his former team. After Canha crushed a 414-foot solo homer off A’s starter JP Sears in the Tigers 5-4 win at Comerica Park, one camera angle made it seem as if the veteran outfielder and designated hitter was staring into Oakland’s dugout. After the game, Canha spoke to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi and made it clear he wasn’t looking into the A’s dugout. Canha spent the first seven years of his MLB career with the A’s and quickly became a fan-favorite. In 645 games in Oakland, Canha hit .244/.344/.431 with 89 homers and 294 RBI. But when the A’s decided to tear down the roster in 2020 and 2021, . He with the New York Mets with an option for a third season. Just before the 2023 MLB trade deadline, he was dealt to the Milwaukee Brewers. In November, the Brewers traded Canha to the Tigers, where he’s serving as a veteran leader on a young Detroit team trying to reach the MLB playoffs for the first time since 2014. Canha got the best of his former team Friday, and he made it clear there was nothing personal about his celebration.
