Mark Kotsay's Status as A's Manager Mentioned by John Fisher

During the introductory press conference for new president of baseball operations Taylor Smith, A's owner John Fisher also took a moment to mention Mark Kotsay, who was in attendance but off camera. 

"One thing I would also like to do is introduce Mark Kotsay over there," Fisher said, "as being our manager, who I think has done a tremendous job. We have suffered from a lot of injuries. Everybody can use that excuse, of course. But for us, it's been sort of a series on some level of musical chairs for Mark to kind of use who's available to try and get some wins for us."

From that statement and Kotsay's presence, it would appear as though he'll be sticking around for 2027 at the very least. Kotsay is signed through 2028.
