A's looking for great deals, not just a good deal

Here the A's are, four days from the trade deadline, and they haven't done a thing.

No trade of Sonny Gray. No trade of Josh Reddick. Not even a trade of Rich Hill.If you listen to the insiders, with the trade deadline Monday, talks haven't even heated up.From talking with people inside and outside the organization, the A's are not interested in simply making as good a deal as they can. The brain trust of Billy Beane and David Forst is interested only in making a great deal. The number of clubs who are might be willing to accommodate would be relatively small.
