I come today with an idea out of left field. And I mean that literally, even if I don’t explain myself right off the bat. And I don’t mean that literally, as I write this with neither a piece of lumber nor a small mammal at my side.
If Jed Lowrie had been available for 2 years and $20M back when the A’s were making offers, chances are he’d still be in the green and gold. I have to think Lowrie was holding out for 3 years or a higher AAV until finding that his stock was in a bear market only heading south.
