Wild trade idea: A’s and Mets could transform each other’s offseasons

The MLB offseason is still just beginning to warm up, and we’ll do plenty of reasonable, rational, realistic analysis and commentary along the way. But here at the outset, let’s play around with something more on the fantasy side.

Welcome to my wild trade idea. It could completely change the Oakland A’s offseason, and turn them back into a genuine title contender in 2021. Settle in, this is gonna take a few minutes.

The A’s biggest restriction this winter will be money. That’s normal. To be more specific, they have a lot of free agents coming off the books, but much of the money they’re saving is going directly to arbitration raises before they get a chance to fill the holes that opened up in the roster.
