As the 2020 MLB trade deadline approaches next week, the A's must figure out if they need to address any concerns with their roster.
The eye test says the A's are pretty good. They entered Monday with the best record in the American League (20-9), and only the Los Angeles Dodgers have a better record in all of baseball.
But if you dig a little deeper, the A's starting rotation hasn't been as strong as they expected entering the season. Through the first 29 games, the A's starters posted a 4.83 ERA, the seventh best out of 15 AL teams.
