NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- A late-arriving group of A's front-office executives descended upon the Winter Meetings early Monday evening, their presence preceded by more rumors surrounding their ace.
Right-hander Sonny Gray made for plenty of fodder within the confines of the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center during the day, and that will likely hold true for the remainder of the week here.
Gray would be a great get for clubs striking out in a weak free-agent class, but he won't come cheap. The Braves reportedly made a run at the pitcher but found his price to be too high, despite the A's never asking for young phenom Dansby Swanson in a return package.
