Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 http://www.sfgate.com/athletics/article/A-...-s-12357838.php The A’s have most of their lineup set but want to add a right-handed-hitting outfielder, and it was learned they have interest in Avisail Garcia of the White Sox, or at least that type of player. Garcia, 26, is coming off a breakout season and was a first-time All-Star, hitting .330 with 18 homers and 80 RBIs in 136 games. Chicago GM Rick Hahn said he’s open to trading Garcia and first baseman Jose Abreu, both of whom are under club control through 2019.

It doesn't appear to make sense for the A's since it seems like they are rebuilding but they always do this kind of stuff so in a way, it does make sense since Garcia is cheap and that's kind of how Oakland has to operate.

Soxnfins Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) The A’s always do things that are counterproductive to their rebuild, I’m not surprised that they’d try and buy Avi. Although, it makes a little more sense, because Avi has 2y left of control. But, then again, they traded for Jon Lester to try and beat the unstoppable regular season Angels at that point. Same with 2009 and Matt Holliday. Angels just ran the table back in those days. Edited November 15, 2017 by Soxnfins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) Luzardo, Murphy, and Jefferies? If you could get Jesus Luzardo and and Lazaro Armenteros I would do it in a heartbeat. Not sure Oakland would offer that though. Catcher Sean Murphy is a potential guy to keep in mind. The White Sox love AFL players. THey were also interested in Luzardo for DRob during the Nats talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) When can guys who were drafted last year be traded. Was it 6 months after the draft, so like mid-December? Because they have several guys who they just drafted who I would be interested in. Edited November 15, 2017 by GenericUserName Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) I'd rather the Sox hold on to him, unless someone is willing to generously overpay. What is there to lose? If 2017 was a fluke, no big deal- they probably wouldn't have gotten anything of significance for him anyway. The possibility that perhaps things finally did click for Avi is worth more to me than org filler.

They are guys that actually have a chance to be quality big leaguers or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
