## Resource

The Oakland A’s are banking on their draft strategy to rebuild, since free agency isn’t in their budget—except for that one big splash with Luis Severino. With the eighth pick, they’re eyeing college bats like LSU’s Derek Curiel, but also keeping tabs on Arkansas’ Ryder Helfrick or pitcher Hunter Dietz if the pitching board falls their way. Their recent success drafting college players proves they’re onto something, but draft day always throws curveballs. Smart drafting is their lifeline—and everyone’s watching to see who they choose at No. 8. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
