The A’s are again mired in a last-place season, likely looking to cut costs and look toward the future.
Major League Baseball’s trade deadline looms a week from Tuesday, and the A’s have already offloaded their biggest-name free agent from last winter, sending former top Japanese prospect Shintaro Fujinami to Baltimore in exchange for relief prospect Easton Lucas.
Fujinami came to the A’s boasting an array of pitches but with a baseball that is slicker than the ball in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball league, he struggled with his grip and mechanics. Focusing on just two pitches as a reliever, as suggested by A’s pitching coach Scott Emerson, helped him make a positive impact.
Who could be the next Athletic out the door? Here are a few candidates who could be on the move before the trade deadline at 3 p.m. on Aug. 1.Fujinami may have been the player the A’s highlighted most last offseason, but May was the highest-priced free agent, agreeing to a one-year, $7 million deal.
