The Oakland Athletics are navigating a challenging time as they seek a permanent move to Las Vegas. Amidst the distractions, the team boasts a promising roster, particularly with young talents like Lawrence Butler and Tyler Soderstrom.

Soderstrom, the former No. 1 prospect, had a rocky start but showed improvement after returning from injury. His performance in the latter part of the season indicates potential for growth as he aims to secure the first base position and contribute to the team's success alongside other rising stars.

This article presents bold predictions for the upcoming fantasy baseball season, highlighting potential breakout players and performance expectations.

Among the predictions, Lawrence Butler is expected to become a top-5 outfielder with a 30/30 season, while Michael King is projected as a top-5 starter. Matt Wallner is anticipated to follow in Brent Rooker's footsteps, and Carlos Rodon is likely to lead MLB in strikeouts.

Additionally, Luke Weaver is predicted to save 30 games for the New York Yankees, and both Michael Toglia and Tyler Soderstrom could finish in the top 10 for first basemen. Finally, Joe Ryan is forecasted to win the AL Cy Young award.
