With the 2020 MLB trade deadline closing in, the A's front office is beginning to make moves to fortify the roster.
General manager David Forst and executive vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane acquired versatile infielder Tommy La Stella on Friday night, and they might not be done.
MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported Saturday that executives from other teams believe the A's will trade for a starting pitcher before Monday's 1 p.m. PT trade deadline.
Rival executives expect both the Athletics and White Sox to trade for a starting pitcher by Monday.
