The Oakland Athletics 2018 Offseason Season Thread | One and Done Again

[wearinthefourfive]

I feel you, trust me. Adolescent WearinTheFourFive was just a big ball of rage, especially when it came to sports.

In other news, I got my Rickey jersey in the mail on Monday, just like the one in the avy.

Aliexpress.com has the best "wholesale" jerseys with free shipping.

Not an A's fan, but this has got to hurt.

Why? When Addison was dealt the organization understood who they were giving up. He will be a stud one day and no one questioned that.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Lol @ that hurting.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Maybe in 4 years when the A's are rebuilding

 

[grusumm18]

bro, the rebuilding starts for the 2016 squad...maybe renato or rob will be ready, if they're still in the system...but watchin addison rake is expected

with skaggs out til 16 and richards til mid 2015 (it is his plant leg, dude was tore up emotionally, so im gonna bet hes gonna take the full 9M)
so 1st half it should be oak and sea with laa and texas fightin too

we got less 40M (more like 35 i think) locked up for 15, moss and jd have murked their arb$ with this july/aug, so that should help
i expect nothing from jarrod- like the dude, but 2 tj's = 0 expectations. aj threw near mid 90s in college and its been a grad decline since...for a "crafty" righty, im not too sold on him either for 15

ive seen on mult boards that laa will go after a plus pitcher for 15...
but cj and weaver are due 40M combined for the next two...then they have skaggs/richards to pay after
i dont see them getting shields or max, but maybe iwakuma?!?


hope to run across a few of you this wkend

Nice scarf, man. Feeling good about mentioning Sonny Gray as an under-the-radar AL Cy Young candidate. Brought it up with a few NT'ers in March and April. Gray and Archer were my low-key votes.

wearinthefourfive does it have the ws patch on the sleeve?

I grabbed a Walt from there last year been looking for a stiebach for my next purchase

I got that scarf a couple of weeks ago, those seats really are the best value in the stadium.

Yeah, it has an elephant patch. It's actually the newer cool base jerseys, so I like to think its a Coach Rickey jersey.

Can you buy those?

 

[hadowajp]

Fireworks games are my favorite easy out of the parking lot while everyone stays for them

 

[MajinZuub]

Who's going tonight?
Got tickets last minute, game is gonna crazy out there+that backpack is too awesome to pass up.

 

[hadowajp]

Ill be out there leaving benicia about 2

Nice I got a bunch of friends from there. I'm meeting my buddy in Crockett and leaving around 1:45 or so.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I think they use to sell a scarf for like $20-$25, not sure if it is still available. The one I got is the one they pass out in the value deck on random Friday nights.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I will be there again tonight. Let's get the sweep fellas.

 

[GreenNGold89]

We got Soto.

Would love to be able to land Escobar.

 

[MajinZuub]

Escobar claimed off waivers looks like

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Can Soto play 2nd? Of all the positions to trade for, catcher? He's always been good against lefties, but I don't know where we'll fit him in our lefty lineup.

Yunel would be a great addition. It'll be like an NFL team signing a serviceable QB to replace a terrible QB.

 

[bronconation24]

Lets get this sweep and don't look back abynore. Leave these angels in the dust

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Nice, Angel dust.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Vogt isn't able to catch right now and jaso may have some concussion symptoms.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Jaso is MLB's Wes Welker it seems.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Doolittle most likely to DL and Otero up.

****.
