The Athletics offered a long-term extension to first baseman Nick Kurtz, sources told the New York Post's Joel Sherman.However, it's unknown whether the sides will get "to the finish line" on a deal, adds Sherman.The 22-year-old Kurtz took home AL Rookie of the Year and Silver Slugger honors in 2025 after slashing .290/.383/.619 with 36 home runs and 86 RBIs in 117 games. The No. 4 pick from the 2024 draft also ranked first in wRC+ and second in fWAR among major-league first basemen with at least 450 plate appearances and played above-average defense at his position.If Kurtz inks an extension, he'd be the latest player to sign a long-term deal with the Athletics.Brent Rooker, Lawrence Butler, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson have all received contract extensions prior to the franchise's move to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.
