No way. Joyce was very solid from May 15th on. The A's still have a very low payroll so taking on 5 mil at one year isn't a big deal. Plus, he was really liked in the locker room his first stint here, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. I don't think they'll be a playoff team this year, but there's a lot of optimism from the players this offseason.i don't get this
they take on 5 mil in salary and brandon moss whose career is just about done for hahn who actually has some talent but has suffered from injuries ever since he got to oakland. not happy about losing fillymer either. between moss and that useless black hole casilla that's like 11 mil in salary. ouch
i'm guessing this means they're going to try and move joyce? or else i don't see where moss even fits in
or they could just DFA moss
it's like they acquired him just so they could get buchter

Players who are in the top 10 of their respective positions are indeed washed up. The top 5 is where the real winners are.66 xbh's from a second baseman?
Washed up.
Whether true or not, the fact is that he had a fantastic 2017. If Moss does that, this trade is fantastic.Oh boy here we go. He had a good season but he wasn’t that good in 2015 when the A’s got him back and was terrible in 2016.
