Are there rumors of BAL dealing Machado? I know he's set to walk after 2018 if no contract but dang I'd imagine they're doing what they can to keep him on the roster.

Then again, it feels like BAL missed their window so maybe another rebuild is on the horizon.

very weak rumors, I just love the idea.

Which is why I think we should go after now

Bingo, rebuilding time is almost here.

Plus, the O's #3 prospect can also play third in Ryan Mountcastle

I don't think Angelos will deal him until the deadline if they do at all. I also don't think they will dish out a mega extension for him. They should probably deal him now and any other veteran pieces like Jones or Britton and start to rebuild but I doubt they do.

Hopefully they move him to SS though I would like to see how he can do fielding wise there. I believe he was pretty good when Hardy was hurt

Billy is certainly faster which allows him to get to a crazy amount of balls.

Ender led all NL CF in Outs Above Average this season. He was only behind Buxton in MLB CF rankings.

Also, check out the Catch Probability leaderboard. He leads all CF in 5 star catches this past season.

Gotta take Odor too. Package deal


The package deal is with Andrus. After all only he can touch Beltre's head and not die.

If you move Odor, then you need to move Emily Jones as well so she can warn whoever they're going to dump the Gatorade cooler on.

Cuban outfielder Julio Pablo Martinez has become the latest player to leave his home island in search of an opportunity in the majors, according to Ben Badler of Baseball America. That said, it could still be some time before he has that chance.

First of all, Martinez is still just 21 years of age. Badler notes that he’s prepared for an assignment at the High-A or Double-A level, so he’s not too far from the majors, but obviously doesn’t appear to be a player that teams would see as likely to contribute in the immediate future.


quote:

Earlier tonight, ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick reported that teams have come away from initial talks with J.D. Martinez’s camp that he’s seeking a $200MM deal, and Crasnick now tweets that clubs are under the impression that free-agent right fielder Jay Bruce is seeking $80-90MM over a five-year term.


quote:

The Athletics are beginning to amass an impressive young core, led by corner infielders Matt Olson and Matt Chapman, and Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that they’re seeking a controllable outfielder this winter as a means of adding to that core. Among the team’s targets, per Slusser, are Marlins stars Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna.


Would be big if they can work out that deal

I would LOVE to see the A's build a winner, right around the time the Raiders leave for Vegas and they get a new MLB stadium.

They could really capitalize imo.

They're supposed to be building a new one in Oakland. I think the A's could actually be decent next year and a sleeper WC contender depending on what they do in the offseason.
