If we're trading both Justin Upton and Gattis in the same deal, then we better get back a lot!
Not just a lot of pitching either!
Just my two cents: I think it would be beneficial to add another arm who is capable of being an ace. I think that a rotation of (Lester/Samardzija)/Teheran/Wood/Miller/Minor would take a ton of pressure off the offense. I also think we should go after high .OPB guys for our offense and guys that can steal bases and wreak havoc on the base paths. Just my opinion though.Quote:

You're right. We were linked to him last season.Quote:

The A's would never do that.Quote:

Well then there's nothing and I mean NOTHING else I'd want from Oakland! The Braves would be stupid to trade with them!
I am in the same exact boat.Quote:

I pray that this is to try and get the Mariners to give up more in a deal cause Oakland has nothing that I'd want besides Sonny Gray!
One tweet I read suggested a three-team deal.
Carlos Gonzalez to the Braves
Jeff Samardzija to the Rockies
Justin Upton to the A's.
While a three-team deal is possible, how does that make sense for ANY of those teams?
You have to love Hot Stove rumors.
What about the Red Sox's becoming the 3rd team?? They need the pitching and have the prospects. A deal could look something like this:
Oakland- Justin Upton and Evan Gattis
Boston- Jeff Smardzija, John Jaso and Fernando Abad
Braves- Allen Craig, Henry Owens/Anthony Ranaudo, and Garin Checchini
The A's and Braves have 8 minutes to make a trade, and then I am going to bed. Come on guys, get this thing done!
I am off to bed soon too. The trade may be all but done but still not announced till morning or later.
I just don't see us matching up. Samardzija is great but makes no sense when he's a free agent after this year.
Exactly it makes ZERO sense imo! And I'm not a fan of Samardzija AT ALL!Quote:
