France is entering the 2026 World Cup with high hopes, as it’s made the final in each of the past two editions and has arguably its strongest squad ever.

It’s a nonsense hypothetical for now, given that only about one-third of the regular season has been played, but if the season ended today, the Athletics would host a playoff series at Sutter Health Park, the Sacramento River Cats’ minor league stadium that the Athletics are calling home until 2028, when their brand-new stadium in […]
