Brandon Moss

[HERPDERP]

Who here wants to take a stab at Brandon Moss?

 

His numbers are deceiving right now. Don't look at the overall totals.

 

But look at pre-ASG and post

Yes he sucked in the 2nd half, but it was because of a hip injury that he had surgery on this off season:

What you're looking at is a guy who pretty much hits like our three-headed monster. If he's healthy, he can hit 40 bombs with a .250/.350/+.550 line. He has two more years of control.

 

Of course, the drawback is that he's 31.

 

Defensively he doesn't have any value, but he can be the lefty in the middle of our line-up.

What would it take to get him??? And if we did have parts Oakland wanted for Moss wouldn't they have been to work that out in an expanded Donaldson trade??

 

btw Moss was nothing at age 28... kind of like Smoak and Saunders are... so maybe the Jays are actually being smart here and trying to find the next Brandon Moss??

 

That being said I wouldn't mind adding him if the price was right. But what would the price be???

What do we give up tho?

Yeah that's my only concern. You figured that if there was a match they would have been packaged.

 

Oh well.

 

Maybe Beane said he wanted to look around first since he knows there would be quite a few suitors for Moss.

I think Beane would want some MLB-ready talent, although I'm not willing to give up anyone on our roster.

 

I wouldn't mind building a package around Osuna, though.

I'd rather roll with Saunders as the big LHP than give up Osuna for Moss.

 

I really think AA should be focusing on the BP, a starter, and MIF help, in that order.

He's gonna trade Moss for a young SS.

 

SOURCES: Moss to CLE for Jose Ramirez is something to watch for.

 

Cleveland wants a COF/1B/DH bat, is looking to move Swisher, and have Lindor/Kipnis up the middle.

 

Personally I think they're stuck with Swisher, but they could put Moss in LF and make Swisher a full DH.

I'm sure Beane could of gotten better for donaldson to. He clearly didn't search that much or other gms are really that dumb

Watch AA get swisher now lol

[TwistedLogic]

I've repetitively said how perfect Moss will be on this team, but I don't know what you trade for him that the A's would want. I can't imagine AA didn't try to add someone like Moss or Reddick or something to the Donaldson trade, and it must have been a thing where they couldn't work something out on what would go the other way.

 

Watch AA get swisher now lol

 

Swisher isn't good anymore.
