Despite being in possession of one of the Wild Card berths, the Oakland A’s are a team that needs help. The bullpen has not lived up to expectations this year, especially with Trevor Rosenthal being sidelined. Right field and shortstop have been disappointments, and there is a need for depth on the roster. This should be a busy trade deadline for the A’s.

At least, it would be a busy trade deadline under normal circumstances.
