This season, the Oakland Athletics’ bullpen has struggle immensely. From blown leads to inconsistent performances, the relievers have been the weakest part of this ballclub. Thankfully, the A’s starting rotation has been solid and has recently been able to go deep into games. But, with the trade deadline fast approaching, Oakland should look to strengthen their bullpen if they want to have a serious chance of even making it to the postseason.
Realistically, closer Tyler Clippard is the only reliable reliever in the bullpen right now. Eric Scribner was consistent during the month and a half but has since become undependable.
