Holliday to A's?

cjonesfan921 · 11-10-2008, 03:17 PM

Heyman just came on Mike Francesca and said Holliday traded to Oakland, nothing official yet, not even for who, yet. Interesting...

Wow, this is definitely an interesting trade by Beane. Usually he's the one dealing his star players, not the other way around.

Link's up on SI now.

Interesting, indeed. Like Sandman said, it's usually the A's (my second fave team) that are dealing away the stars.

Very interesting, I didn't know they were in the hunt.

has also been reported by ESPN -- no names on who was going the other way..

St Louis though was smart to not make that other trade..

I heard Greg Smith was included.

Yes just one less Dodger killer to worry about.

Depending on what Beane gave up, he's probably looking to either re-trade Holliday for more prospects or offer him arbitration after the season to eat up a pick from the team that gives Holliday $15+ MM a year.

From what all I've read it looks like: Carlos Gonzalez, Huston Street, and Greg Smith for Holliday. I'm wondering if the A's are going to try to sign him long term, should be interesting to see what happens.

Wow I did not see this coming.
