The A’s are aggressively building for their future in Las Vegas.

For A’s general manager David Frost, the club’s future is equally as important as the opening series they are playing in Toronto this weekend. Much like what the Oakland A’s accomplished in the early 1970s when then-owner Charlie Finley drafted and acquired young talent, and contractually locked them in to grow as champions, this seems to be the pattern of the current A’s calling West Sacramento, Calif., home.
