The Athletic's, formerly known as the Oakland A's, hold spring training at Hohokam Stadium following the departure of the Chicago Cubs in 2013. The A's will play the D-backs on March 8, 9, and 12 at 1:05 pm.

Manager Mark Kotsay has agreed to a contract extension with the Athletics through the 2028 season that includes a club option for 2029. The deal was announced Monday, which coincided with the team's first full-squad workout of spring training.
