Jed Lowrie was the ultimate flyer for the Oakland A’s. The team needed help at second base but where limited by their budget and available options. As Lowrie only cost a minor league deal due to his two injury plagued seasons with the Mets, and the two sides had years of familiarity, it was a deal that made perfect sense.
