Once the Smoke Clears the A’s Will Start Trading
I’m sure all you A’s fans have been huddled around your TVs or Computers just waiting for the A’s to start making some trades. I hope you aren’t too disappointed nothing has happened just yet. The A’s are going to have to wait for the Hunter Pences of the world to be off the table before they can really start dealing.
Even though the A’s have some of the hottest hitters in baseball you must remember a few weeks ago that same guy was stinking it up. I’m sure GMs around the league aren’t sure what to make of guys like Hideki Matsui and Conor Jackson. Heck I’m not sure if they can keep up this hot hitting. Once teams needing some offensive help run out of other options Billy Beane’s phone will start ringing.
I think late Friday or early Saturday you will see the A’s make their first trade. I also see some desperation moves when the deadline is winding down. A guy like Conor Jackson makes sense on a last second, shot in the dark, type trade. So be patient A’s fans. I believe we are only hours away from the flood gates opening.
