Trade deadlines are never predictable. For the first splash of this year's rendition the obviously selling Oakland Athletics traded obvious trade piece....Billy Burns? To the Royals? Who are also should be sellers? Interesting.
You very well know Billy Burns, his flaws and his skill(s). He had an excellent run in 2015, being a solidly average player overall in his rookie year. He wasn't nearly as good this year, ultimately being sent down to AAA before being shipped out.
In return, the A's received Brett Eibner. Who is Brett Eibner you ask? Let's find out.
His history
Originally born in San Diego, Eibner eventually moved, playing his high school ball at The Woodland High School near Houston Texas.
