The Oakland A's- MLB's ACTUAL AAA team

[volfanbill]

Oakland is going all in for a playoff berth with the acquisition of Marte from Miami.

I wouldn’t call it all in, but these are typical Billy moves. All in would’ve need a move for Story.

Get well Fosse. I really enjoy him as an announcer.

Laureano pops hot. 80 game suspension

No. I’m a rational, educated human being. I’m totally not overreacting to the first nine games of the Starling Marte rental. Not at all. Nope. Not doing it.

Pretty incredible.

Real season starts Monday. Would be nice to either get closer to the Astros, pad the wild card lead or both over the weekend

Matt Chapman isn’t human

Scary.

Cheek fracture and a couple lacerations. Thankfully nothing major. That’s the important part.

But he was easily the A’s most consistent, best starter this season. The road to October just got A LOT harder. Ride the wave

The world has lost Ray Fosse. Longtime analyst and color commentator for the green and gold. RIP

This is probably just the first of many hits imo

Kyler Murray could be roaming the Oakland outfield, throwing out runners.

Likely on the trade block honestly, along with the Matts and Murph. But it would be his first arbitration year, so he would’ve had that going for him. But instead he got last night. Too bad for him I guess.

Hope it happens, it is a cool spot. Here is a photo of the location I took last summer.

It covered that ship right up.

The ownership are being bigger jackwagons than normal. Skyrocketing prices and ready to dissolve the team again. Both Matts are on the trade block for sure, it’s believed Murphy is and Laureano is expected to be in season trade bait once his suspension is over. Also leading both Oakland and Vegas on being non committal to both.

Lew Wolff was terrible, Fisher doesn’t seem any better. About the only good thing I can say about Wolff is that he was instrumental in getting the San Jose Quakes a new stadium. They don’t spend money on players either though.

Too bad you weren’t alive in the early 70s, one of the best teams in the history of the game.

Braves apparently were talking to the A's before the lockout about a trade for Matt Olson.

RIP Jeremy Giambi. Gave everything (minus one time he should've slid) his all and better than his stats showed. Only 47 years old.

There is a sixth year sticking point in the contract negotiations between Freddie Freeman and Atlanta.

 

[volfanbill]

The Braves aren’t the only team the A’s were talking to for Olson fyi.
