Happy Tuesday Athletics Nation!
We have all heard about who on the Athletics are going to be brought up in trade discussions over the past few weeks. A lot of the chatter early in the season surrounded stud closer Mason Miller. And deservedly so as he is already among the top late-inning relievers in the game, is controllable for years to come, and still could be converted to a starting pitcher. There’s a lot to like if you’re an interested team in Miller.
Then we later got word that last year’s All-Star Brent Rooker is already receiving trade interest as he has followed up last season’s 30-homer performance with 13 already in just 54 games (a pace that’d see him finish with 39 home runs this season).
