Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s are strutting into Winter Meetings this week in the wake of last week’s bold free agent signing of Luis Severino. The deal signaled that the team is ready to make significantly more of an effort to be competitive now that owner John Fisher has torched a 50-plus year legacy of Bay Area baseball and still needs a tow to make it all the way to Vegas.
Martin Gallegos at MLB.com reported on comments made about the Severino acquisition by A’s manager Mark Kotsay, who suggested that another big move may be on the horizon in stating that the A’s are looking to “get something done” with star slugger Brent Rooker.
