Teams could drop some talented players without any options left to reach the 13-player limit. (Currently 14)
...might be worth the A's preparing to claim one or two? ...Almost like having a Rule 5 Draft this year!
So how should the team clear roster spots?
My Ideas:
- C, DH: Vogt-l, 37 y, '23 FA To 60 day IL or Cut? (Prep as a coach?)
- DH, SS Andrus-r 33 y, To IL or offer to paydown salary in a trade?
- 1B, DH, C Bethancourt-r 30y, 0 options ...DFA? ....chances are no team claims him.(Base Stealers a problem) Offer AAA contract?
- RF/LF McKinney-l, 27y, 0 options .......chances are no team claims him. Offer AAA contract?
