A’s exercise option on manager Bob Melvin’s contract for 2022

0

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland A’s have exercised the Club option on manager Bob Melvin’s contract for the 2022 season, the club announced today.

Melvin has compiled an 808-715 (.531) record in 10-plus seasons since being named interim manager on June 9, 2011. Earlier this season, the Bay Area native passed Tony La Russa for most wins in Oakland A’s history and became the 35th manager in MLB history to win his 1,300th game.

During his tenure with the A’s, he has led the team to six postseason appearances and three AL West Division titles. In 2013 he became the first manager to lead the A’s to consecutive division titles since La Russa won three straight from 1988-90.

Melvin has won Manager of the Year three times (Arizona, 2007; Oakland, 2012 & 2018). He is the sixth manager to win the award in both leagues and just the eighth to win it three or more times. He and La Russa are the only men to accomplish this feat in an Oakland uniform. In his career, Melvin is 1301-1223 (.515) in 18 seasons with Seattle (2003-04), Arizona (2005-09), and Oakland (2011-present).

He is the 30th manager in franchise history and the 18th in Oakland history.

NHL Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – Tuesday, June 15, 2021

0

THREE HARD LAPS

* Defensemen continued to shine for the Golden Knights as they won their fifth straight game and grabbed a 1-0 series lead.

Pekka Rinne, a Predators franchise icon for his sparkling playing career and unwavering commitment through the years to improve the lives of so many in Middle Tennessee, won the 2020-21 King Clancy Memorial Trophy.

* The Islanders, who dropped the first two games against the Lightning in the 2020 Conference Finals, will look to take a 2-0 series lead over Tampa Bay in the Stanley Cup Semifinals.
 
GOLDEN KNIGHTS EXTEND WINNING STREAK, SNAP CANADIENS’ SEVEN-GAME RUN
Defensemen Shea Theodore (1-1—2), Alec Martinez and Nick Holden accounted for three of Vegas’ four goals as the Golden Knights improved to 5-0 in their last five contests and handed the Canadiens their first loss since Game 4 of the First Round, ending a seven-game winning streak. The Golden Knights recorded five consecutive victories within a postseason for the fourth time since their inaugural season.

* Vegas became the second team to have three different defensemen score at least one goal in a game taking place during the Conference Finals/Semifinals. The Golden Knights joined the Penguins in Game 5 of the 1991 Prince of Wales Conference Final (Larry MurphyPaul Stanton & Ulf Samuelsson).

* Theodore (12-33—45 in 61 GP) scored his 12th playoff goal since joining Vegas in 2017-18, which leads NHL defensemen over that span. He also leapfrogged reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner Victor Hedman (11-33—44 in 56 GP) for the most postseason points among all blueliners since 2018.

* Golden Knights defensemen have combined for nine goals, 28 assists and 37 points in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, tops among all teams for each category. Theodore became the sixth Vegas defenseman with at least one goal this postseason.

RINNE AWARDED KING CLANCY MEMORIAL TROPHY
Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne was the 2020-21 recipient of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, awarded for “leadership on and off the ice and who has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution to his community.” Click here to read more on the efforts of Rinne, who will receive a $25,000 donation from the National Hockey League Foundation to benefit a charity or charities of his choice.

* The 2020-21 recipient of the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy will be revealed tonight.

ISLANDERS LOOK TO HEAD HOME WITH 2-0 SERIES LEAD AGAINST LIGHTNING
Game 2 between New York and Tampa Bay goes tonight, with the Islanders aiming to extend their winning streak to five contests and return to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum with a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Semifinals.

* New York has earned five or more consecutive victories in a postseason six times in franchise history. The most-recent instance was during the 1983 Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the Islanders closed out the Conference Finals with an 8-4 win over the Bruins and then swept the Oilers in the Final to claim their fourth straight championship.
* The Lightning have not suffered consecutive postseason losses since the 2019 First Round, when they were swept by the Blue Jackets. Tampa Bay owns a playoff record of 11-0 in the contest following a loss dating to Game 4 of that series, which is tied for the longest such run in NHL history with Montreal from 1985 to 1986.
