Athletics Need Pitching, Not Bats

The Athletics are six weeks out from the trade deadline and sitting just under .500 — but with a shot at the AL West title, they’re poised to make bold moves. While their offense, led by Zack Gelof, Jonah Heim, and Tyler Soderstrom, is already elite, the real need is on the pitching side. With a struggling rotation and bullpen, adding a top starter like Tarik Skubal or Joe Ryan could be the difference-maker. The Red Sox’s Sonny Gray — a former Athletic having a breakout year — could be a perfect fit. If they land the right arm, they could transform from a .500 team into a true playoff contender.
