Alt. reality scenario where John Fisher makes like Ebenezer Scrooge on Dec. 23... Fisher got a call from his accountants and when they told him how much he's going to being paying his team in 2026 he demanded that his Front Office trade everyone making a million or more on salary. Forst objected and got fired for his troubles so we're trying to make the best of a very bad sitation. The A's can't send cash and they can't take back a 7 figure salary. The A's have 9 players they need to move, and move them quickly. BAH HUMBUG!!!
The A's use Butler to clear salary at positions of need for the Giants. Severino and McNeil are potentially 1 year commits while Butler could a mainstay for the next 7 years. Schmitt was penciled in to start at 2B in SF but now he's headed to the hot corner in Sacramento. Gilbert goes into the mix in the A's outfield.
the SF fan base is too much attached already to Gilbert to suffer a gut punch of trading him away especially under Vitello his old coach. Say, trade mccray or ramos in place of gilbert and its a fair trade that wont reek of stench with the SF brass
That's a tough swap. I don't think McCray is going to be a guy and I agree with what you said elsewhere... Ramos is best served as a DH and I don't know if I want to invest so much trade value into his bat-only profile. How can the A's sweeten the offer to keep Gilbert in the mix?
