The A's' plan
The core players aren't up for trade. But you never know.
Would John Fisher trade any of the A's core players before arriving in Vegas?
“I think we thought Mason Miller would be with us forever… I will just say there certainly are no plans to trade any of those guys or any of the other young stars that we have”
