After last week's signing of 29-year-old Robbie Grossman, the A's find themselves with eight outfielders battling for three spots.
Stephen Piscotty and Ramón Laureano should have right and center field locked down, which leaves six players -- Grossman, Nick Martini, Mark Canha, Chad Pinder, Franklin Barreto, and Dustin Fowler -- vying for playing time in left.
While a team can never have too much depth, the A's still have other areas of need -- namely starting pitching. So it's worth asking, could a trade be in the works?
Barreto and Fowler probably carry the most value in a potential trade due to their youth and upside.
