The Oakland Athletics reportedly may not be big sellers prior to Tuesday's MLB trade deadline, meaning star outfielder Brent Rooker could be staying put.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the A's are "reluctant" to trade Rooker and outfielder JJ Bleday, and it doesn't look as though there will be a "huge sale" of the key players on their roster.
Heyman also noted that since Oakland's other major trade chip in All-Star closer Mason Miller is on the injured list with a fractured pinkie on his non-throwing hand, it lessens the chances of a significant trade being made.
