The Oakland Athletics are likely headed for a last-place finish once again in the AL West this year. The A’s are in the middle of a rebuild and their goal is to land several top tier prospects in return for their remaining veteran players before the trade deadline.
Sonny Gray remains the team’s biggest trade chip and there are at least a half dozen teams in the running for Gray’s services. The A’s, however, have made it well known that they are not going to accept anything less than the absolute best in exchange for Gray.
