Currently, the Oakland Athletics have a surplus of outfielders. With the expanded September roster, the A’s have nine players who can play in the outfield. However, the only position really open for the taking in 2016 is left field. If Oakland does not trade Josh Reddick this offseason, then he will be positioned back in right. Billy Burns pretty much has center field all wrapped up after this year’s success. That just leaves left.
Sam Fuld has been covering left field for most of the season.
