If the Oakland A’s are unable to retain Marcus Semien, their fallback plan may be prospect Nick Allen.
The Oakland A’s have already stated their preference at short for 2021. If they had their druthers, Marcus Semien would be back in the fold, manning the position for the foreseeable future. However, given the A’s plethora of impending departures in free agency, they may not be able to bring Semien back as they fill out their roster.
