We were told that the post-lockout period was going to be a frenzy of player movement as teams try to get their rosters set for a fast-approaching Opening Day, and they weren’t lying. Monday was another crazy one with a couple of big trades, the most notable of which was between the Athletics and the Braves. Oakland is well known to be selling off anyone and everyone, and they made perhaps the biggest move of their winter, dealing first baseman Matt Olson to the defending champion Braves. In return they got back a big package of outfielder Cristian Pache, catcher Shea Langeliers, and pitchers Ryan Cusik and Joey Estes.
