Players Have Been Cut, Others (Lawrence Butler) Totally Impress!

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:31:50 GMT

The first round of cuts are in, meanwhile some young guys stick around like Lawrence Butler and Denzel Clarke. Fuji looks great, bullpen guys like Zach Jackson, Dany Jimenez, and Domingo Acevedo look great. Lots of players continue to impress, even though the A's haven't been able to put it together frequently to end up with wins. But it doesn't really matter if we win, it's Spring Training!

Cole Irvin Traded to the Orioles

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 13:25:49 GMT

Well, this one took me by surprise. I thought he would be the last person traded, to keep some stability in the lineup, but it's not necessarily a bad move.
