Thao Shalt Not Steal (Them Back)?

On The Field

The A’s finally made some headlines on the field, acquiring not one mediocre Giants pitcher but two, count ‘em, two! Both have some upside, with excellent seasons in their past.

Ross Stripling was even good as recently as 2022, when he started 32 games for the Blue Jays posting a 10-4 record with a sterling 3.01 ERA. Alex Wood struggled in his last 2 seasons with the Giants, especially when starting, but who can forget his 16-3, 2.72 ERA season with Dodgers? I guess you could possibly forget it considering it was 7 years ago, but still.
