A’s outfielder Kenny Wilson, 27, looks for 1st big-league shot “I feel old,” the nonroster outfielder cracked. “Some people peak later, it takes longer to put things together,” said A’s minor-league instructor Steve Scarsone, who managed Wilson at Triple-A Sacramento in three years ago. Manager Bob Melvin singled out Wilson for praise after coaches’ batting practice Wednesday, saying he appears to have a nice swing, some pop and a lot of coachabilty. Wilson said that he really enjoyed his partial season with Sacramento and Double-A Midland in 2014 after being designated for assignment by Toronto. Wilson is coming off a rough season in which he hit .219 with Miami’s Triple-A New Orleans club. An excellent defensive outfielder, Wilson comes to an A’s team with minimal outfield depth, so there is little doubt the front office will be keeping tabs on him in case there is a need. Worst-case scenario, he’s in Nashville, doing the things he needs to do, which he will, and he could be a viable option.

    Sean Keeler: It took about 16 seconds for the Bo Nix haters to come crashing through the front door of Dove Valley like it was a Black Friday. The fumes have barely faded on the 2024 draft, and at least one major betting service on Monday listed the Broncos’ latest franchise QB lottery ticket as its heavy favorite to be “most likely rookie QB to be benched first.” Which presumes, of course, that he’s the Broncos’ starter right out of the gate.

All three were once teammates at Eagles Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, Ga., and now will be teammates at CU, where they’ll play for head coach Deion Sanders. Colton Hood is a cornerback who will join the Buffs as a transfer from Auburn.
