The A's secured All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson with a seven-year, $70 million extension, including a club option for an eighth season, locking him through 2032.
- On January 30, 2026, the Athletics agreed to a seven-year extension with All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson through 2032 with a club option for 2033 and the deal is worth $70 million.
- By buying out arbitration and free-agent years, the deal is structured to cover Wilson's remaining pre-arbitration and arbitration seasons plus two free-agent years, preventing free agency after 2030 and avoiding arbitration after 2027–2029.
- Wilson delivered a breakout rookie season, hitting.311/.355/.444 with 13 home runs, 63 RBIs and 3.0 WAR in 125 games while starting the All-Star Game and finishing second in AL Rookie of the Year voting.
- Because the club will spend seasons in Sacramento, the deal helps secure Wilson and other core players for the first seasons in Las Vegas, with the team playing at least two years at a Triple-A stadium in West Sacramento.
- Aiming to contend, the team hopes top pitching prospects Jamie Arnold and Gage Jump will join the near future, following the signing of Jacob Wilson through 2032.
