They have like 7 outfielders now. How are they going to be able to play them all?

 

Doesn't mean they have to move Reddick for a mediocre deal.

Meh. I disagree.

 

Shuck is nothing but a 4th outfielder, Sanchez is essentially Semien 2.0 with better defense and a worse bat, and Danish struggled mightily in AA last year.

 

I wouldn't be sad to see any of them leave to be honest.

If you were Oakland, would you take that package for Reddick?

So why would they want Shuck. Right now Shuck is the only back up cf for the sox

Danish was also the youngest player in AA.

He's the trade chip they should use it he has value. Not a lot of projection for him to be a starter. He's my pick for this year's Hawkins where he goes from top ten to not ranked in the system

Wouldn't rule out Coughlin getting flipped again. Hope sox would be in on that.

The A's have no need for him. They have Davis and Reddick on the corners. It would make sense if they get back a better player than who they gave up. I do wonder if Cubs had to rush trade in order to sign Fowler today.

Oh I think that was definitely the case. It randomly broke an hour or so before the Fowler news broke and it was a real head scratcher at the time. With Orioles breathing down Fowlers back it made sense to put the contract in ink while they could and not worry about Coughlin's return.

Cubs even said trade had to be done before they could get Fowler due to money and playing time.

Why would the A's traded for him then. Would be stupid to trade for him and turn around to trade him. Maybe they trade him later but highly doubt the would now. If the Sox wanted Coughlin then why didn't the trade for him.

Exactly. He puts down everyone in the deal and then expects someone else to want it lol

Maybe the Cubs liked Brooks and targeted him in the deal? Maybe Cubs hate our pitching prospects?

When was the last time a player was traded twice in a relatively short amount of time?

All sorts of crazy things are happening right now. Hard to use much from the past as historical references.

From the A's perspective? That's easy. Why not? Doesn't seem like they gave up anything of value. Basically got a quality mlb player for next to nothing. Even if it is a big position of strength for them, why not do that deal? Cubs perspective is more confusing, but as has been stated, timing probably forced them.

Danish was also the youngest player in AA.

 

Danish seems like an Oakland player. Very non-traditional, but high achieving. I could see there being interest where other teams would be scared off.

 

Oakland's MLB site has a headline saying Coghlan will be used in utility role.

Well said

Oakland isn't going to compete this year and "should" be rebuilding, so they might see appeal in Sanchez and Danish just because of their youth and the fact that they're cost controlled for a long time.

 

I don't really know though, I'm just spitballing and thinking aloud.

Lack of playing time may have been a turn off apparently. Let's offer the same deal and tell starting CF gig.

That is the first time I have heard a number put to Jackson that I can recall.

Me too. Hopefully his situation is more about playing time and re-establishing value on a one year deal than about multiple years.

Sure seems like Austin Jackson has limited options right now. Really only see WSox, Rangers, Angels and Indians. Indians, Rangers and Angels supposedly don't have payroll space.

Baltimore?
