Things haven’t gone well on the field this year as the big league team is just 35-52 as July comes around, placing them firmly in the sellers category of teams this deadline season. Considering that most other squads are still within striking distance of that third and final Wild Card spot, that should mean a seller’s market for the A’s and other teams who have seen their playoff chances drop into nonexistence. Time to focus on the future.
On the bright side of things, the All-Star Break is right around the corner, offering everyone on the team, the coaching staff, and even us fans a respite from the game.
