I would bet that if by the deadline the angles are 8+ games back they trade someone like abreu and slot either kendrys or trout in at dh. It’s late enough in the year to delay his service time. Gives them a great look at him and he could spark them to make a run

Why would they put Trout as a DH? His fielding is some of his best assets. If they don’t call him up in early June that aren’t going to call him up at the end of July.

wth DH?!? do you know who Trout is? If for some strange reason they do that they would put Wells or Hunter at DH before Trout.

Why the heck would Barton negotiate with the A’s right now? If I were the A’s and I did give him a multi-year deal, I think he’d be the first player in the last 10 or more years that got offered a multi-year deal that averaged less than $1MM per season. Honestly I wouldn’t go beyond 3 years/$1.3MM- meaning he’d still make the league minimum- and even then I wouldn’t be comfortable on the years. Dude needs to figure out how to hit before he talks about an extension.

Yes, he’s struggling so far this year, but he was productive last season.
Coach Steve Tucker
Refreshing honesty by players…

what do they do when trout comes up? do they trade hunter or boby? and what do they do with trumbo when kendry comes back. I say trade amarista, trumbo, santana and bell for David wright, J.A. Happ, Ricky Romero,or Cole Hamels after kendry comes back
