Pfft

Tim Kukjian rambles on about the A’s and their free agents to be. Yah, because that’s not a story that gets cut, copied and pasted every September.

The A’s will never be able to compete without BLANK. BLANK was the heart of the A’s. If the A’s can find a new home in BLANK, their revenues will dry up. Not only will the A’s lose BLANK to free agency, they will also lose BLANK. They may offer a contract to BLANK, but that will not make up for the loss of BLANK.

Of course, Billy Beane and Co were able to counter the loss of BLANK last year with the addition of BLANK and trading less than blank for BLANK. The A's also have BLANK in their minor league system.

Same story every year.
