| Hill (L); Reddick (R) |
The Oakland A's are 15.5 games out of first place in the AL West. Their October will be filled with
golf gloves not
batting gloves. So,
Billy Beane is probably in the mood to deal—then again, when
isn't he? Two guys likely to be on the move are
both former
Carmine Hosers—
Josh Reddick and
Rich Hill. Reddick is probably headed for free agency this offseason, so his price tag is a little lower than it would be normally. Hill is pitching great, but he's 36 years old and
also headed to free agency after the season. These are two players who could help Boston
immediately in LF and the rotation (freeing up
Brock Holt to be 'super-sub' again as well)—and probably not cost an arm and a leg in the process. Boston has plenty of
mid-level prospects that could be attractive to Oakland—and maybe even a
Christian Vazquez or
Blake Swihart as well. This is a do-able deal that should be made.
