The Oakland A’s have had as active of an offseason as any MLB team. They’ve made three major trades, which cost them multiple members of their 2017 squad and brought back a starting outfielder and two good relief pitchers. They also signed another excellent reliever as a free agent. It’s not the busiest winter they’ve ever had, but plenty has happened and they’ve addressed their most critical needs.
The rest of the league can’t say the same thing. There have been some significant trades, mostly involving the Marlins passing out their All-Stars like party favors. The Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes came and went.
