Not every team has more than 2 capable shortstops though so I’m not sure what your point is
EDIT: went back and read your original post, doesn’t seem like you’re saying it as a criticism. My bad??
Well on the bright side, Ryu might come back down the stretch and be useful. If not, he’s off the books after the season anyways. And there’s a chance Kikuchi doesn’t completely suck.
Glass half-full
Yeah he doesn’t have the track record of a guy like Bassit. Hence the opt-out after year 1. If he repeats his 2022 he’s probably looking at a deal closer to the Taillon/Walker range.
Yeah that’s a giant IF. More than likely Bellinger is cooked.
How many players were absolute s*** at the plate for 2 full seasons and then regained their form??
Pujols in a platoon role?
AA sweet talked the s*** outta them.
Actually, didn’t they get more of a haul in the Olson trade??? I just don’t understand why the Brewers were involved in this trade at all.
Also realizing this is the second time AA has f***ed the Athletics HARD in a trade.
First Donaldson now Murphy.
What the hell is that A’s front office thinking??
