Quite a fall from grace for Pache. Dude was a major prospect 1.5 years ago. I'd take a flier pending price, but imagine a lot of rebuilding clubs would also be interested. But the A's certainly fit that bill, so maybe he's just trash?
Burger for Pache, perhaps? Burger would make a nice platoon partner for Jace Pederson in Oakland. I do think Burger will be needed at times in Chicago, but obviously something has to give from the 40 man and I suspect the A's will be able to get something of relative value for Pache. I suspect they'll DFA him tomorrow to buy themselves some more time to find the best deal.
