The lefty has been fantastic since returning to the Major Leagues, and Oakland looks like they'll be selling. Should Brian Cashman pounce?
The fact that we even get to have this discussion is remarkable in its own way. Scott Kazmir was out of MLB-affiliated baseball in mid-2011 after injuries caused him to flame out. He bounced around in independent ball before signing a minor league deal with the Indians in 2013, and the rest is history. Kazmir pitched 158 innings of 3.51 FIP ball while striking out nearly a quarter of the men he faced, and signed a two-year deal with the Oakland Athletics before the 2014 season.
