Overview
- Soderstrom’s contract guarantees $86 million over seven years with a club option for an eighth season and incentives that could raise the total to about $131 million.
- The signing was announced at the A’s future Las Vegas home, a $2 billion, 33,000-seat domed stadium now advancing through foundation construction and slated to open in 2028.
- General manager David Forst called the extension a blueprint for the franchise and said the team has ongoing conversations about additional multi-year deals.
- The agreement follows recent commitments to Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler, a three-year pact with pitcher Luis Severino, and a trade for Jeff McNeil as the A’s reposition for contention.
- Soderstrom, 24, earned the extension after a breakout 2025 season (.276, 25 HR, 93 RBI in 158 games) and a successful shift to left field that made him an AL Gold Glove finalist.
