Fans’ off-season plans crack me up because they often look like OOTP drafting. Your team isn’t any good? Just turn over the entire roster and replace it with 25 better players! A fun exercise, to be sure, but not the direction the A’s are actually going.
My off-season plan begins with a keen ear towards what the A’s have indicated they will actually do. Regardless of what we want or dream about, Oakland has given no indication of pushing to bring Shohei Otani in to solve LF and SP at the same time, nor have they been linked to the likes of Giancarlo Stanton, Lorenzo Cain, or Yu Darvish.
