A's Rumors: Ellis, Embree

More A's rumors and news, courtesy of Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (here and here).

  • GM Billy Beane is committed to the long-term plan, and is not interested in quick fixes.  He'd like to add a free agent bat, probably an older player on a short-term commitment (Jason Giambi could make sense).
  • Second baseman Mark Ellis had shoulder surgery a few weeks ago.  The uncertainty hurts his free agency prospects, which might give the A's a better chance to re-sign him.  Ellis is a Beane favorite, and the A's hope to bring him back.
  • The A's will decide on Alan Embree's $3MM option after the World Series.

Comments

Ellis should absolutely be back. He's not valuable with the bat, but his value to that extremely young pitching staff is great. Having good defense behind them helps that staff, big-time. And not just the starters, the pen is also young.

Embree should NOT be back.
