Yea I know, I just refuse to remind myself. Maybe Cashman uses him as a reminder to not go down that road of overpaid guys who get old and unproductive long before the contract is up

Yea. .. they better not send Frazier down. He can hit major league pitching. He belongs.

Yea but this is the type of player he's been for 3 years now. At some point I think you just gotta accept that he's a sunk cost.

His contract is too bad for that. We still owe him 60+ million before that last year buyout. And a full no trade clause. Such an awful deal. I'd love to get rid of him, believe me. But I understand why they keep their fingers crossed that he'll do something.

Brett Gardner the Ray killer.

I got cheap bleacher seats for Monday night vs. Detroit. Can't wait.

Cashman did great for us in the trade for Sonny Gray. For the big return Gray would supposedly command and the type of package the A's were seemingly trying to hold out for this is a steal in my opinion. Kap and Fowler are both coming off major injuries and are both pretty big risks. Pretty much traded 2 of our most risky well regarded prospects to bet on becoming important MLB pieces in the future.


It does sting a bit to see Mateo go as he's rebuilt most of the prospect hype he had and lost before. He was blocked though so that makes it easier to see him go, along with the fact that we have Torres who was doing great and nearing a promotion to the majors before he got injured. I do think they may end up regretting trading Mateo in the future though. Obviously you need to give up something good to get something good though.

Overall Cashman did great once again. He's moving the right prospects for the most part in my opinion.

Unreal trade for us. I don't know how the hell we went from Torres down to Florial. Down to this package. But Cash is a master negotiator. That's for sure. So much depth in this rotation now with Gray and Garcia.

Great deal indeed, I say run a 6 man rotation now and see where the hot hands are going into the playoffs. This pickup could put them over the top to take the division imo. And kept all the biggest prospects too
