The Oakland A’s might currently be the worst run franchise on the planet, giving Sean Murphy away for 50 cents on the dollar and then doubling ticket prices on their way to a historically bad season. Or they might not even be the worst run baseball team in California.

The Angels faced a key dilemma this week with the trading deadline approaching Tuesday.
