Interesting how they list the Athletics on the schedule.  Are they just gonna be referred to just as Athletics, or will it stay Oakland, be Sacramento, or start using Las Vegas.  

I know they trademarked "Sacramento Athletics" but aren't going to use it at all in 2025, and instead will just be the Athletics and only have the A's and Athletics on all of their jerseys and branding.

I believe they will simply be referred to as the Athletics.

Just trademarked it so no one else could.

The Angels have rights referring to California in the name for baseball teams I believe.

It was a joke anyway.

Ending the season in New York after having to end the second to last season in New York this year seems a bit unfair for the Yankees. 

Fixed that for you

We also host NYY for four in the last home weekend series. Over half of the year's Yankee games are in the final 10 games of the season. 

Probably won't be as close next year though.

I’ve never understood why they release the schedule in the middle of the ongoing season. Why not do this in Nov or Dec to give the talking heads on their network something else to talk about?  Make it a whole thing like the NFL does, or at least try to. 

A lot of it relates to logistics of reserving stadiums to avoid conflict with the NFL and other usages of each venue.
 

imagine having the Orioles play each Ravens home game ? I would like to see it every October!

It will be a Boston/Houston palooza August 15-28!  13 straight games against only those two teams, including rare consecutive 4 game home series against each Aug 21-28.

So the Ravens will most likely be opening again on the road next year (Sept 7) unless they win it all this year lol.

Somehow, I went from looking at the Orioles schedule for next season to a clip of the finale of Newhart, which I watched with great pleasure and not a little melancholy

Also, I guess there's no set rotation by which they assign that 7th game and a four-game series to the Central and West opponents. 

I thought it seemed strange to be playing Cleveland and Houston in a 4-game series yet again, and in fact it'll be the third straight year we played 7 games against Cleveland, and the third time in four years we played 7 games against Houston. In that same four year span we will have never played 7 games against Seattle, and only played the 7th game once against a few other Central/West teams. 

Don't really care about this one way or another but I would have assumed it'd rotate around.

I guess they are going back to 3x3 for all the regional rival pairs, rather than 2x2. Which is good because the current model has been resulting in weird back-to-back off days, and the Brewers/Twins All Star Break extending through Friday this year. 

So Milwaukee and Minnesota have an off day today on Friday? Just a two game Sat and Sun series is weird. Yes, I think 3 x 3 for the regional rivals makes more sense.

Not too many away game stadiums that would personally peak my interest for a vacation / baseball trip.

Interesting possibilities would be the A's and Giants series in Sacramento and San Fran (would be cool to check out those stadiums, and I've never been further west than St. Louis).  Or the Seattle series, would be awesome to see the Pacific Northwest.

There's also the Cubs series, I have family in the region and have never been to Wrigley.  I'll have to ponder all of this.

Arizona would be interesting but not a great time for me being that early in a month. Makes it tough for work purposes. Tampa is fun and we have a four game series there in June...would make a great week vacation in St. Pete!
