I don't want to trade Deebo, I want them to figure out, promise whatever needs to be promised (e.g., usage as WR only) and pay the man.

But if he has to be traded, make whoever takes him also take Jimmy G.

Glad I left that jersey in the shopping cart, lol.

Deebo should only get the risky massive deal he'll get if he is in the unique hybrid role. If he's going to refuse to do anything other than be a pure WR, I wouldn't pay 70M guaranteed for a 26yo with a long injury history and 2 years of great WR production. Sell high in that case and use the picks to get a replacement WR, fix the OL which is the biggest problem right now (especially with Trey Lance coming in, help him out), and the other big weakness, ie the secondary (better with Ward but still).

Samuel has never done anything consistently enough to have the demands he has right now. How about you actually stay healthy 2 years in a row before acting like you’re Terrell Owens in his prime. If he can’t wait until the Garoppolo situation resolves itself, which is the only thing holding up a potential extension, then they should look at their options.

A’s played over 10% of their schedule to start the season without a day off and are somehow above .500. I didn’t think they’d be over .500 at any point this season the way John Fisher is sabotaging the franchise.

Kudos to a competent front office and Kotsay making the right moves so far.

A’s reap empty Coliseum seats from fans frustrated with ‘parallel paths,’ no-name roster

The Oakland Athletics played in a nearly-empty Coliseum in their first homestand as fan...

Read some of those quotes from Kaval about wanting the deal approved in the summer and to stay in Oakland. Kind of different than what he says about Vegas at the same time. They’ll say anything just to get a stadium for free.

Nevada won't be shoveling $$ at them. Maybe a deal on land purchase.

Which is why I’ve always thought of them as Fisher’s plan B.

Either way Vegas will get a team, whether it’s the A’s, Rays, or expansion. The A’s are just making the connections and doing the foot work.

Hmmmmm

Dusty Baker becomes 12th MLB manager, and first Black manager, with 2,000 wins

Ten of the 11 managers ahead of Dusty Baker on the all-time wins list are in the Hall of Fame.

Congrats, Dusty

Most wins by a black manager in league history.

Sad to see Frank Gore retire but glad he came back and did it as a Niner!

They should have let him return 1 kick to get over 20k yards. He had exactly 16k running yards and was only 8 or so all purpose yards away from another milestone.

Apparently the Warriors made the NBA Finals.

I think the guy who injured his Achilles Jay Thompson came back, which is interesting because I have a small injury to my Achilles/heel bone area right now and rest doesn't seem to help it recover.
