#1 Finally, Finally, the Oakland A’s long awaited seats in the stands at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa AZ will finally have some but not all fannies in the stands after the announcement that A’s spring training games will have a maximum limit of 2,000 fans per game.

#2 Fans attending contests at Hohokam will be sitting in pods that are two and four and that six feet apart that are zip tied between each seat.

#3 A’s manager Bob Melvin wanted to take a look at reliever Lou Trivino and had him throwing batting practice to see how his stuff was and felt his stuff is just about the same and wanted to get Trivino some confidence out there.

#4 San Francisco Giants News: Giants catcher Buster Posey who asked the question last season “what are we doing?” at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic last spring training but this season Posey has a pretty positive outlook on returning and is all in for the upcoming 162 season.

#5 With Posey taking a whole season off last year will he need all of this month to prepare for the regular season and how much preparation will he need. In his last full season 2019 Posey hit .257, 43 runs, 104 hits, and 38 RBIs.
