The Oakland A’s “have interest” in Miami Marlins outfielders Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna, reports Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle.
This news fits in well with the facts we already know about this offseason. Khris Davis would make more sense as the DH than in the outfield, where his defense is subpar (mostly his arm), and they could even trade away Ryon Healy to facilitate that switch. At the same time, they’re already rumored to be in the market for a right-handed outfield bat.
On the other side of the coin, the Marlins’ new owners are looking to slash the team’s payroll by at least $50 million.
