Athletics Trade Deadline Preview | Oakland Athletics News

The Oakland A’s, once preseason darlings, are now sellers at the trade deadline—eight games back in the AL West and fading from wild card contention. While they’ve got promising young stars like Tyler Soderstrom and Shea Langeliers, don’t expect a full teardown; they’re likely to focus on smaller deals to shore up a pitching staff that’s the league’s worst. Veteran reliever Mark Leiter Jr., who’s been dominant lately and is a free agent after the season, is the most likely player to go—his experience and recent form make him a hot target before the deadline.
