Who did the As just trade (Update: Donaldson to Toronto)

Was it Donaldson? Samardzija?

Trading pitching for offense.

Sounds like a solid idea.

Blue Jays gonna be good.

Am I completely missing how this trade helps the A's at all?

Billy is a smart G.M. He just saw Kyle Seager deal and was like no way the A's can sign Josh. Did the right thing and moved him.

Reyes, Russell, Bautista, Encarnacion, Donaldson flat out nasty.

He's not a free agent for another 4 full seasons.

No trade has been announced yet. They are trading Samardzija for three players according to a San Francisco paper. KC traded Crow to the Marlins and their site is active tonight along with the Nationals. Everyone else seems to be quiet. It could be one of them.

When you can score 6 to 8 runs a game who cares.

And he is a super two as well. Something is up here.

Except the part where this, at first glance, weakens the team. Billy going into rebuild mode? Then why sign Butler?

At least this trade gives me justification to dislike Donaldson.

When will they do that? Top offense is Five a game.
