SportsAuthority.com gotta mad MLB authentic jerseys that are 50% off. No idea when it ends. If you sign up, you'll get an extra 10% off. Cano, Kershaw, Trout, McCutchen and mad players. Current BP jerseys too.

Good looks man! Needed a Nats authentic ever since my Harper one got signed. Got a replica Rendon one, but it's just not the same. Cool base >

@JaneMLB: AL source says A's are involved in multi-player deal. On verge of trading big piece for three or four players.

 

[jewbacca2]

@susanslusser: Again, source tells me that #Athletics nearing major deal that involves Samardzija for several players, team targeting hitters.

 

[grusumm18]

Different deals...yup, plural

One has shark one doesn't, which is why there's diff reports from rose that and local oak beat writers

 

[jewbacca2]

I wonder if one includes trading Billy Butler haha

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Donaldson going to Jays

 

[jewbacca2]

that's a huge move

 

[grusumm18]

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: Donaldson going to #BlueJays. Lawrie, RHP Kendall Graveman among those going to #Athletics.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Glad I'm not an A's fan

 

[jewbacca2]

Beane constantly rebuilding so he doesn't get fired lol

 

[GreenNGold89]

I don't care. Just blow it up and retire billy. Retire.

 

[johnson1]

Damn not JD!

I thought the Giants would try to make a move for him

 

[lb510]

Trade em before you pay em its like clockwork with the A's. Sad

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I like Lawrie still, has some young Ken Zobrist potential, a super athletic multi positional defender who if you can fix his swing you can unlock his potential.


I like the deal from the jays perspective, waiting for Lawire to develop simply didn't fit within the time frame of the Jays roster, Edwin and Bautsita are running out of prime years.

 

[grusumm18]

Being an a's fan is fun

Better than being some bandwagon sf fan...the ogs get respect, the ones who had to deal with current oak crowds at the stick, when u almost went to st pete. True fans right there.

These new ones are only trumped by 2014 Seahawk fans

 

[jewbacca2]

What team does Ken Zobrist play for?

I kid, I kid.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Yeah great deal for the Jays (bad for Boston )


But man the A's...jesus

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Beane constantly rebuilding so he doesn't get fired lol

He's part owner. He's going nowhere

 

[grusumm18]

He's part owner. He's going nowhere

Hed easily off his stake if another club matched the small stake he has in oak.

 

[madj55]

Wow. Huge move for the Jays. Now they just need another SS to play the other 81 games Reyes won't and some pitching.

 

[jewbacca2]

Hard to be critical of Beane. He cashed in the chips last year and didn't hit the jackpot.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Were giving up Berretto.

I..well...Donaldson better be good.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Billy enjoys the no expectations in oakland, which is why he isn't going anywhere.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I don't want to be one of those fans who overrates his teams prospects but Berretto is supposedly tha goods.

so...Donaldson better be good.

Didn't Donaldson stink in the second half last year?

 

[DeadsetAce]

He did the home run derby right? Derby can always eff up a second hald

Half srs
