The Oakland Athletics have announced plans to start a major rebuilding effort. It has become increasingly clear that Billy Beane and David Forst are willing to deal their last remaining assets in order to secure a brighter future.
With their sights set on the future, Beane will likely part ways with starting pitcher Sonny Gray this month before the deadline. The A’s ace has been closely watched and scouted by rival teams throughout the league this month.
Luckily for the A’s, Gray has rebounded quite nicely this year after suffering through a miserable 2016 campaign. Gray’s value has gone up over the last few weeks thanks to his recent hot streak.
