Welcome to the offseason, where the rumors are rampant and discussed ad nauseam.
The most recent rumor from late-October, which is really just a sentence in one of those Jon Heyman Inside Baseball posts, is that the A’s could target a right-handed outfield bat to go alongside Khris Davis in the outfield. Heyman often has great scoops, but until the hot stove gets brewing we won’t really know how serious the A’s are, particularly with Ryon Healy still in the green and gold for now. The rumor does make sense though, particularly if the A’s are in fact keen on DHing Khris Davis with frequency.
