"Manager Terry Francona was Ken Macha's bench coach in 2003, and his first base coach is former Oakland outfielder Collin Cowgill. As for players, the Reds had utilityman Miguel Andujar (acquired in mid-season from the Sacramento A's, so he'll go down as the first Oakland/Sacramento Athletic to appear in a playoff game) and reliever Emilio Pagan, appeared in 55 games with the A's in 2018 after being acquired from the Mariners for Ryon Healy."
"American League Boston Red Sox Andrew Bailey Boston's pitching coach was an All-Star in each of his first two seasons with the A's and was the A.L. rookie of the year in 2009 when he saved 26 games (and won six more) on a 75-win team. After the 2011 season he was traded to the Red Sox in the deal that brought Josh Reddick to Oakland."
The Oakland A's final home game anniversary coincides with the team playing temporarily in Sacramento for at least three seasons before a planned Las Vegas move. Every one of the 12 MLB playoff teams this season maintains a direct connection to the Oakland A's via current or former players, coaches, or historical trades. The Cincinnati Reds feature staff and players with Oakland ties, including Miguel Andujar, acquired midseason from the Sacramento A's, and reliever Emilio Pagan, who appeared for the A's in 2018. Boston's pitching staff also includes Andrew Bailey, a former A's All-Star and 2009 A.L. rookie of the year.
