What's the long-term plan at shortstop? Marcus Semien has put in a lot of work at shortstop and looks much improved, but are there any other players coming up who could threaten to take his job?

Semien has improved dramatically since he took over the job in 2015, but a wrist injury in April derailed what many thought would be a breakout season. The A's offered him a long-term contract last offseason, but the two sides couldn't agree to a deal. While still under team control through 2020, Semien could be dealt or move positions.
