All depends on the return
Did Oakland get anyone rated in the Yankees top 10 prospect list?
This is a steal for Sonny Gray, still a great pitcher. This is like the Josh Donaldson trade for the A's minus Barreto.

MLB.com has fowler #4, mateo #8, and kap #12
like i said, great trade IF fowler and kap heal correctly. i wasn't expecting fowler to be involved but he's got some great potential, could be a stud for sure. very risky move though. if they don't then this trade will really, really suck.
fowler is supposed to be ready for ST and kap probably won't be ready until mid next season so we'll have to wait and see
Mateo definitely is in the top 10. It's a weird case, he was horrid in A+ ball and his stock fell dramatically, but turned it around in AA the past few weeks. Very versatile player and could move to the OF. Same with Fowler.
Gray is a good pitcher, but short guys like him don't throw many innings after the age of 27. He'll probably flame out in a year or two.
I think it's an underwhelming return for the A's, despite of what I believe Gray is. For all the information leaked that Beane and co. leaked suggested it was Frazier/Torres/Florial or bust, he got a far worse return than that. The A's also gave up $1.5m in international slot money, which is pretty nuts.
He's way past his prime.
Nah, I think his recent development shot him up the prospect rankings. Most NYY fans have him 3rd now before the trade.fowler is better than florial for what it's worth
it was obvious a while ago they weren't going to get frazier or torres. fowler and mateo is a good return but like i said, this trade all comes down to health. if fowler can recover and be the player he's supposed to be, this will be a great trade for the A's
