As the team settles into its temporary home in Sacramento, the 2026 Athletics roster reflects a franchise trying to turn the corner. The front office has surrounded an exciting young core with a few strategic veteran additions to create the chemistry necessary for a rebuild. It’s a necessary pivot after a disappointing 2025 season.
I created this guide for a simple purpose: so A’s fans can know who is on the roster, and which players really matter to the team’s success. Read on to learn more about the team.

Top Athletics players to watch
The A’s had yet another losing season last year and traded away some of their players at the deadline. And yet, there will still be plenty of players to watch during the 2026 season.
If the Athletics are going to improve, it’ll be on the back of Nick Kurtz, who was AL Rookie of the Year after hitting a whopping 36 home runs. Brent Rooker will also be key, having set career highs in games played, plate appearances, doubles, and walks in 2025. Also, look out for second baseman Jeff McNeil, whom the A’s acquired from the New York Mets.
