Norris should have more trade value than a rental like Cueto . Paplebon could be had for tier 2 prospect. If make no trade waste another season, we only 4 games out
Kendall Graveman was hammered for six earned runs in 4 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Astros.
Graveman gave up nine hits and struck out only one in another ugly start. He tossed 5 1/3 scoreless innings against this same Astros team on April 14, but the 24-year-old right-hander even had some issues in that outing. Graveman now has an 8.27 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in 16 1/3 frames this season. It may be time for the A's to install Jesse Chavez as their fifth starter.
