Welcome back to the Jhosty/Nxon interviews. I’m your host David Brinkley and I just want to catch those of you up who are just joining us. Last week on Jhosty/Nxon, the Red Sox were having Jhosty/Nxon take reps at 1st base, and internally they were talking about promoting him. Then, after a break-in at the […]

It’s Players’ Weekend everyone! You know what that means! No? You don’t know? Wait, you’re asking me? Uhh, it’s all weekend, and it’s for the players. What’s to know? They get to wear whatever they want, as long as it’s within reason, and it’s not flashy, or political, controversial, contentious or interesting in any way. […]

1. 1B Nick Kurtz | 22 | AA | 2025

At 6’5” 240 from the left side, Kurtz fits the prototype of a high-OBP, big-power corner bat. The Athletics selected fourth overall and sent him to Low-A, where he slashed .400/.571/.960 with four home runs in seven games. So naturally, the team sent him right by High-A and onto Double-A Midland, where he hit .300 for five games before a hamstring strain ended his regular season. He got back in action during the fall and played well enough that he might get a long look in training camp as the team will be eager to generate fan interest.

Mets SS Luisangel Acuña (22) got the big call on Saturday to provide some versatility off the bench. To say he’s had a tough season would be underselling the reality of his 69 wRC+ and .299 on base percentage across 131 Triple-A games. He has struck out just 16.4 percent of the time, but that has brought with it a career low walk rate of 5.5 percent. If he can put some kind of approach back together, he probably has the hands to hang around as a utility bat. He’s stolen 40 bases (54 attempts) in those 131 games and can play a little all over the field, but he’ll likely open next season back in the minors to get the everyday at bats he needs.
