Kotsay uncertain about future with A's amid ongoing struggles

Summary

Mark Kotsay, manager of the Oakland Athletics, stated he has received 'no assurances' regarding his future with the club as he navigates the final three games of the 2026 season. The A's have a poor record of 318-489 since Kotsay took over in 2022, prompting speculation about whether he will remain through his contract, which extends to 2028. The team is currently without a general manager following David Forst's firing in August, which adds further uncertainty. Kotsay emphasized the need for change, which could be beneficial despite its challenges. The Athletics aim to have a new GM in place by season's end, which could influence Kotsay’s status.
