A's Sign Jacob Wilson to Seven-Year, $70 Million Extension After Las Vegas Stadium Tour

The commitment underscores a shift to retain a young core ahead of the 2028 relocation.

Overview

  • Wilson’s deal runs through 2032 with a 2033 club option, adding two years of team control and covering his 2027–2029 arbitration seasons.
  • The extension follows multi-year pacts for Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker, reflecting spending the front office links to the planned Las Vegas ballpark.
  • Wilson toured the Strip-site construction and signed in Las Vegas, underscoring the club’s effort to showcase its future home.
  • The club is pursuing further extensions with Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers and added veteran Jeff McNeil to bolster a youthful roster.
  • Wilson was an All-Star who hit .311 with 13 home runs in 2025, though analysts flag BABIP-driven offense and mixed defensive metrics as risks to long-term value.
