Down vote for the A's. I think Crooks and Church can be good depth but the A's can't afford to trade potential rotation impact for that depth. I also think Springs' ability to eat innings will be crucial in 2026 and allow the team to be patient with the (hopeful) impact arms coming up.

Thank you! It's pretty hard when both team are heading in the same direction 😅

Welcome. Will the Cards be willing to part with Crooks, now that Herrera's arm is healthy? Or are they more likely to shop Pages? And what are they looking for in return?

That's a great question! I have no idea how Bloom likes to operate. My gut is telling me that'd be more inclined to keep Pages as an insurance policy... But maybe that's Pozo

I saw a good deal of Pozo while he was in the A's org. Keep Pages as the insurance policy!
