After making a run at Edwin Encarnacion last month, the A's clearly have some money and are willing to spend it on offense. Trumbo, who turns 31 this month, led the Majors in homers (47) and hit .256 with 108 RBIs in 2016.
The A's signed Matt Joyce in November and Davis last week, but they could make room for Trumbo, who could play right field or be the designated hitter. Pairing him with Khris Davis would give the A's the only pair of teammates that knocked at least 40 homers last year (Davis hit 42).
