It’s Tuesday, Athletics Nation!
Another day, another major player traded away from the Oakland A’s. After the dust had settled from the weekend’s trade of Chris Bassitt to the Mets, yesterday they traded fan-favourite first baseman Matt Olson to the World Series champion Atlanta Braves.
This move is the second in what had seemed like an inevitable chain of dominoes to fall. It’s a huge blow to the core of the A’s as we have known them for the last five years, as Olson moves to his hometown of Atlanta.
