Before Dallas Braden dazzled fans with his baseball knowledge on the television screen as an analyst for NBC Sports California, he was pitched for the Oakland A's. To say he knows the A's is an understatement. He's able to connect with the players in a way not many can, and knows what the organization is, and has been, in the past.
When A's fans received the good news designated hitter Khris Davis would be staying in Oakland for a while longer after agreeing to a two-year extension, Braden spoke with NBC Sports California about the announcement.
