The Oakland Athletics have been very quiet this offseason. They haven’t made any big moves and seem content with what they have. They’ve made small maintenance moves, such as bringing back Jake Diekman and trading Jurickson Profar.
But the fact of the matter remains, the A’s have a plan in mind and it doesn’t consist of outside help. Oakland has been growing players in their minor league system, since they decided to hit restart after the 2014 season. That was the season they went all in to build a dominant staff and fell apart in the Wild Card game against the Royals.
