Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
We’re two days away from the World Series opener between the Dodgers and Yankees, and it’s been fairly quiet on the A’s front since it was announced there will be sod to lay down at Sutter Health Park. But one of our beloved recently departed is dealing with a truly frightening injury this Halloween season.
Paul Blackburn was the last A’s starting pitcher to be named an All-Star. He was traded to the Mets at the deadline this year, and made five starts with New York before landing on the IL with a wrist injury.
