He did - at least to an extent. Saw a blurb a couple days ago about him voicing his frustration about being a part-time player.

This article from a Texas paper says the opposite. Unlikely candidate. But it appears that's just a guess based on how things when down when he was leaving.

Phillies lose to the Reds 1-0 on a walk off base hit.
Braves sit 6.5 games up over them going into tonights game. They play the Mets next

He has a vesting option for next year -- I believe it's 550 plate appearances. The A's were clearly not going to let him reach that threshold, tried to keep him from getting there by benching him and he forced their hand with his public comments.
That being said, he probably wouldn't be too enthusiastic about a back-up role here, though at least it would be on a competitive team.

or maybe AA doesnt wanna give out long-term deals to pitchers. He probably wants around the Musgrove contract or more, and no idea if AA is willing to go there.

AA said the team gets an ice cream machine in the clubhouse if they win tonight Lmao
Great idea. The entire team will start looking like Vogelbach in a few months.

DeSoto co in Mississippi basically is memphis. Probably just went to a better hospital there. His parents might even work in memphis; tons of people live in DeSoto (Southaven and olive branch) bc less taxes and well, it's safer. BTW, wiki says Austin and wife live in cold water, ms

Yankees arent terrible but they've been slumping lately. Outside of them, yeah it's hard to see anyone beat them, playoffs you never know what can happen i guess though.

Unless the Yankees figure it back out. But yeah the NL is loaded between the Braves, Dodgers, Mets, and Padres

Definitely the Mississippi side of Memphis… my brother in law went to High School with him. He’s like a damn legend in their area
