Grover I think you will sh^t on this trade but I'm curious what you think, I was looking at Andujar as a platoon bat against LHP but the A's are in contention still and probably don't want to give him up, OAK is pretty deep at OF and DH now so it's dealing from depth to get rotation help.

No poop, merely a down vote. I don't think the A's are going to move Gage any time soon. Duran is roster fodder and I expect Thomas to be on the Trade Block by July. The A's like Colby and the hair is fabulous... but if they stick with Soderstrom in LF then there's no place for him in Sacramento.

CCMosley

Oh interesting cause I figured Thomas would be the sticking point not Jump, yea I was looking at Duran as a bullpen arm with his stuff, how do the A's view Bolte? What about Morales or Perkins instead of Gage?

Keep your hands off Morales! Gage was throwing 97 the other day, the A's are going to want to watch him develop for a bit. Perkins gets knicked up; he may end up in the bullpen like Mason Miller did. The A's like Thomas and Bolte but where do they play? Neither is on the 40 man yet (and Bolte doesn't need to be added until after '26) but if Clarke ends up playing a significant role in CF (the A's love his defense) then a trade seems likely. The A's aren't convinced on Max Muncy at 3B; that's organizational issue #1. And everyone competitive is in the market for SP come July.

CCMosley

Haha yea I liked Morales cause of his size, seemed like he could be a workhorse type, before TB signed Kim I would have loved to get Muncy to bridge the gap at SS til Williams is ready but I'm surprised the A's started him at 3B, Mead isn't an upgrade over anything right now but Caballero with speed and defense might not be a bad idea for a bit, if Clarke takes over CF you guys will have a nice logjam in the OF and DH spots.

I’d still like Susac if the Rays are trading someone to the A’s.

CCMosley

I was thinking you didn't like Susac before for some reason, I'd love to get him cause I get a good leadership vibe from him, like an old school Ausmus or Giraldi type, but I figured with with Shea in like season 4 already he'll probably be moved soon and Susac becomes the starter.

I think Susac would be available. Langeliers is Arb1 next season and will be Catcher1 through 2026, at minimum.
