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

[Guest]

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

Josh playing in that park is gonna put up monster numbers.

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

Seems early to trade an MVP candidate.

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.

Are you sure he did not say "I'll never get more than now."

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.

Isn't Donaldson known to be a bit of a jackass? Am I confusing him with someone else?

Like AGon in Fenway? like Granderson at Yankee stadium? The only park that really moves the dial is Coors.

He seemed to be. I need more then a bit of a jackass when a guy is that good.

A's fans are bitter.

Can someone please explain Butler's contract in light of these trades?

Lawrie is a free agent before Donaldson.

Donaldson on the road: .276/.361/.513 18 HR 53 RBI will benefit from not playing 1/2 games at Oakland Coliseum

Probably, a bit.

Folks tend to over estimate the effect.

I think Beane must have realized he earns much more in book/movie royalties than in baseball. Must be testing a new theory for the sequel. What do Jim Johnson and Billy Butler have in common that Donaldson does not?

Add in they steal pitches from CF and have special bats that allow them to hit 450' home runs and he's going to hit a lot of HR's for them.

Well Josh won't be a A's player much longer.
