Athletics at Crossroads: Buy or Sell? | Oakland Athletics News
Description
The Athletics are in freefall with a 41-55 record, eight games back in the division and playoff odds at just 1.4%. Injuries to key players like Brent Rooker and a struggling roster have left them with a make-or-break August trade deadline. They’re poised to either buy—targeting elite pitching—or sell, potentially moving veterans like Mark Leiter Jr. or Jeff McNeil, even catcher Shea Langeliers if needed. No matter the path, pitching is their top priority. If star Nick Kurtz can’t return, they may lean into selling veterans for future pitching prospects, but their window to turn things around is closing fast.
