They could wind up with anything from 5-WAR All-Star Jed Lowrie to raw youngster Franklin Barreto to any kind of stopgap veteran in between. On Monday another name was added to the radar, as the team “has expressed interest” in free agent D.J. LeMahieu, according to Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle.
In her writeup, Slusser makes clear that all options (including Lowrie) are still on the table. The point is that the A’s are looking around at everyone available, and she mentions a further list of name that could also be in the picture.
