Per KNBR 680 out here in California.

Also per the A's site:

Was this strictly an injury issue? Did the Bradley baggage come in to play? Does JD take a flyer on the guy?

our new first baseman!

solve his injuries by playing him at 1b!

ehehehehehhe.

but really, i wouldnt imagine that the rangers try to do anything. I bet the a's are able to get someone to trade them something for him which the rangers wont want to do.

I'd take a flyer on him

Oh man

Boston needs to get him. They'd have the two best names in baseball.

we need him

BAD. he's awesome. I love him. and if we got him I wouldn't have to say "let's take a flier on Elijah Dukes" anymore.

No, F that

If we got Bradley (which we won't), we'd pretty much have to get Dukes too, cause we'd instantly become the most interesting team in the whole league to follow.

I heard

he flew off the handle in yesterday's game. Met with Beane today. Guess the meeting didn't go well.

Bradley and yesterday's game

I listened to KNBR on the way in to work this morning, and they mentioned something cryptically about how Bradley 'didn't look good during yesterday's game'.

I wasn't sure what it meant, but obviously something had to have happened.

Offer them Sosa

Beane wouldn't take it, but worth a try.

What's his contract like?

Found it.

$4 mil this year, FA.

No No No

We have enough old vets in the OF and his attitude sucks

journeyman vet....if he was worth it he would stick with one of the many teams he's played for.

Makes no sense

for us to go there since he's a FA. Wonder why they couldn't get anything for him though? He's obviously a good player (yes, I realize that he's combustable).
