Will Brett Lawrie be on the 2016 Oakland A's?

Now that the Oakland A's have unexpectedly reacquired Jed Lowrie, they have too many infielders. That could mean a follow-up trade to make space, and Brett Lawrie is the top candidate to be dealt according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

To be clear, Lawrie is singled out as "likely to be traded" because he has the highest trade value of the bunch. It doesn't sound like Lowrie Jed is going to supplant Marcus Semien at shortstop, at least not on a full-time basis. That leaves 2B and 3B to draw from, which means Danny Valencia and Lawrie Brett.
