A's Sign All-Star Shortstop Jacob Wilson to 7-Year, $70 Million Extension With Club Option

The move underscores the club’s plan to secure a young core ahead of its planned 2028 Las Vegas debut.

Overview

  • Wilson’s deal runs through 2032 with a team option for 2033, the A’s announced Friday.
  • The extension buys out his pre-arbitration and arbitration years, avoiding free agency that would have followed the 2030 season.
  • Wilson, 23, earned an AL All-Star start and finished second in Rookie of the Year voting in 2025 after hitting .311/.355/.444 with 13 home runs in 125 games.
  • Oakland has also locked up Brent Rooker (5 years, $60M), Lawrence Butler (7 years, $65.5M) and Tyler Soderstrom (7 years, $86M) as part of its youth-focused core.
  • A news conference is scheduled in Las Vegas on Monday to sign the deal, which was first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
