2014 Oakland Athletics
- Thread starter DubbC415
- Start date
They were already shopping for starting pitching a month before the sweep.
Milone has options and just pitched the previous day... Johnson was the only pitcher in the bullpen not used in the extra inning game the previous day, so they might have needed him tonight. Also, he has enough service time in to deny the assignment.
My guess is that by the end of the month Chavez is traded for a 2B/MI, Sogard is sent to AAA, Johnson is traded away for non-prospect AAA players/released, Mills moves to the pen and Milone is back in the rotation. Chavez was a scrap heap reliever turned top 20 starter, his value isn't going to get any higher from here and he was never in the team's long-term plans anyway.

I still think it was a coincidence. As well as the A's have played, the Angels were only 3.5 out when news of the trade broke. Both the Angels and Mariners are a threat, the Mariners are already shifting their rotation around so that Felix faces Samardzija this Friday... We're not even halfway through the season yet and head to head matchups in the AL West are being treated like it's mid-September.
No other team has as many All-Stars on the roster this year. I think the closest are the Dodgers, Brewers, Cardinals and Reds who are sending four players each.
Samardzija said he's doing the National League pre-game introductions and then going over to hang out in the AL dugout. I don't know if I've ever seen a player more excited about getting traded.

Johnson will prolly get DFA'd soon and become a free agent. Unless Dan Snyder or or Mark Cuban buy a baseball team, I don't see anyone pickin up his pro rated 11 mill.
If billy is goin all in this year like it looks, he needs to flip Chavez and a couple prospects to he Phillies for Chase Utley.
This team has a 2 year window as it stands right now.

At this point, I'd have to guess that Utley is at the top of their list, but he might be hard to get... I don't think the Phillies front office has any idea what they're doing with their team or their aging players, so they might want way too much or more than the A's have.
At least there are a couple other options if the Phils end up holding on to him.
