MLB Trade Deadline Shockers: Which Teams Made Genius Moves and Who Set Themselves Up for Disaster?
Athletics: A
Moves:

Traded DH Miguel Andujar to Cincinnati for SP prospect Kenya Huggins
Trading away a reliever, even one as dominant and as controllable as Miller, for a potential franchise-altering piece such as De Vries is, in my opinion, a no-brainer. That’s especially true for a team such as the A’s, who aren’t in a competitive window right now. In other words: Bullpen arms are almost as volatile as prospects.

Evaluators I spoke with think De Vries has a real shot to be a superstar, somewhere on the scale between Francisco Lindor and Ketel Marte, depending on how his body develops. The rest of this group has some interesting arms, too. Good for the A’s, who are putting together a really exciting position-player group ahead of their supposed move to Vegas in 2028.
