Athletics Shortstop Jacob Wilson Draws Trade Interest Across MLB

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson has surfaced as a potential trade chip as the club seeks starting pitching ahead of its move to Las Vegas. Wilson, 24, signed a seven-year, $70 million extension after an All-Star rookie season in 2025, but suffered a down second half and underwent major shoulder surgery. Trading Wilson could clear a path for top prospect Leo De Vries to take over at shortstop in the upcoming 2026 season.
