The A’s have gotten an insane amount of production out of first baseman Yonder Alonso this year. Usually when a player outperforms expectations on the Oakland Athletics, they are traded immediately.
Well, maybe not immediately, but the A’s should realize they have a significant trade chip in Alonso this summer.
Alonso, 30, has enjoyed a breakout season so far this year and his numbers are All-Star worthy. Through 61 games this year, Alonso is currently slashing .301/.395/.622 with 17 HR and 37 RBI.
Last year, Alonso hit just .253/.316/.367 with 7 HR and 52 RBI.
