FUCKIN' A TRADE - DEAUX?

The A's have traded Nick Swisher to the Chicago White Sox for three of their top prospects; (RHP) Fautino De Los Santos, (LHP) Gio Gonzalez and OF Ryan Sweeney.



Statistics, analysis and breakdown are happening over at the FORUM.


This is left over from the Haren deal:

I like the trade. I like it because it gets the A's minor league system some breathing room. Kudos to Beane and Forst. They admit there is a problem and got four very good prospects for one very good pitcher. The A's didn't give up, they gave in.

Here's a take on the Swisher trade:

I like the trade. I like it because it gets the A's minor league system some breathing room. Kudos to Beane and Forst. They admit there is a problem and got two very good prospects for one good hitter. The A's didn't give up, they gave in.

I am updating the Forum with entries on each player acquired.
