The Oakland Athletics have spent the last month making their team very, very bad. By trading Sean Manaea to the Padres on Sunday, the A’s have sold off all their quality players who had only one year of control. In doing so, they retain just four players projected to be roughly league average or better: Sean Murphy, Tony Kemp, Ramon Laureano, and Frankie Montas. While the A’s have been trading away key contributors, they have been filling out the holes in the roster with players far past their prime, namely Jed Lowrie and Stephen Vogt.
