A's staying patient in pitching pursuit as MLB Winter Meetings begin

LAS VEGAS - Some teams will treat the 2018 MLB Winter Meetings like a Netflix viewer binge-watching their favorite show. It's set to be a three-day barrage of nonstop trades and free agent signings without a second thought.

That's not the A's style.

"We never come here with a goal of actually getting something done," general manager David Forst explained on Monday. "If it happens, great. ... But you don't ever make it your goal to actually do something."

Oakland certainly has some holes to fill on next year's roster, but Forst knows there is still plenty of time after this week.
