I Don’t Know: A’s 3B options after Matt Chapman trade

The rebuild continues. This time it’s Matt Chapman heading out to Toronto, and the third base position opening up for the first time in years.

The Oakland A’s have a long history of greatness at the hot corner. From Sal Bando, to Carney Lansford, to Eric Chavez, to Josh Donaldson, to Chapman himself, we’ve watched some All-Star hitters and some legendary defenders take that spot on the diamond.

Who will be the next man up? A future superstar probably isn’t on this list, but somebody has to play third base in 2022, and there are some current candidates who might do a good job with it.
