GM FOR A DAY: Inside Booney's 20 Minute Coup, the Shortest GM Tenure Ever

For one chaotic, glorious stretch, Booney storms into the general manager’s office and treats it like a battlefield. With only 20 minutes to reshape the franchise, he demands frontline starters, elite defenders, extensions for the young core, and a payroll plan that would make accountants reach for the emergency whiskey. It’s part fantasy, part therapy, part hostage situation — and entirely Booney. From dreaming big with Zac Gallen to wrestling Cincinnati for Ke’Bryan Hayes, this episode captures the exact blend of ambition, delusion, urgency, and swagger every A’s fan wishes their front office showed just once.

The drama builds as Booney lays out his entire blueprint to John Fisher, pitching a future built on smart risk-taking, aggressive spending, and betting big on the next generation. Extensions for Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson. Sensible bullpen reinforcements with Gregory Soto. A savvy buy-low arm in Tyler Mahle. And just when it seems like Fisher might actually buy the plan, the hammer drops — Booney’s boldest 20-minute GM era ends the only way it could: with the owner firing him mid-sentence. It’s loud, unfiltered, funny, and painfully revealing… everything Locked On A’s is built for.
