ARLINGTON, Texas — The A’s are playing their best baseball of the season, and that’s not making the decision-making any easier for their front office over the next five days.
Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline is approaching, and what seemed like a no-brainer approach (sell, sell, sell) doesn’t seem so clear-cut suddenly.
The A’s have won five of their past six, and their 9-4 record is the best in the American League since the All-Star break. Another late-game power surge sparked them to a 6-4 victory over Texas on Wednesday, marking the first time the A’s have won four series in a row since May 2014.
