The way Rich Hill is pitching the A’s will be getting a top prospect for him. With the lack of starters on the trading block its going to be a all out bidding war for his services.

Well not top. A couple of B grade prospects, yes. The A’s have a bunch of trade chips, Khris Davis, reddick. Valencia. They have a ton of hot players that can get a lot on return.

Davis and Valencia have arbitration years left so no need to trade. Hill will get them a top prospect if he keeps pitching like he has. Somebody always over pays for a starter like even Beane did a couple of years ago.

Beane gave up Addison Russell. Terrible move in Samaridja trade. Just awful. Be he had a better track record then Hill. Hill is no bringing you a top prospect. Only the A’s make that deal and they cant trade with themselves

Look at the package the Reds received for Cueto last year. 3 pitching prospects with Finnegan being KC top prospect. Reed is now their #3 prospect. for the reds. The A’s received 2 very good prospects for Kazmir Mengden who is having a break out season in AAA and Nottingham who they flipped for a guy Davis that hit 13 home runs so far this year. Shows that a good pitcher will get you top prospects in a deal.

Chris Carter would have been the most obvious choice as the Brew Crew is not planning on winning any time soon.
