When Major League Baseball teams discuss trades, money is almost always a point of contention because most clubs operate under a set budget.
When the Milwaukee Brewers dealt left-handed pitcher Brad Mills to Oakland, it seemed harmless enough. The A's needed a starting pitcher after Drew Pomeranz was placed on the disabled list after punching a chair, per Matt Snyder of CBSSports.com; Mills has some MLB experience and comes cheaply.
Very cheaply, it turns out.
According to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the deal between Milwaukee and Oakland will cost the A's a whole dollar:
To put that sum into perspective, it would cost you ...
The Oakland Raiders have improved their team as much as any other in the NFL this offseason, upgrading talent in a number of ways throughout the roster.
The positive changes have been made in their areas of most significant need, giving the roster a completely different look than that of one year ago.
While they may not project to be a playoff team just yet, the talent brought in this offseason should indeed make for some improvement in the win column and have them remain competitive throughout.
Here is a look at some of the Raiders’ new faces that should have the biggest ...
Generally speaking, the Oakland A's are a very good baseball team—one of the best teams in baseball during the 2014 regular season. But if they want to legitimately compete for a World Series title, there are a few things they must shore up.
Don't mistake that statement as doubt.
We're more than one-third of the way through the season already, and the A's have the best record in the American League. Statistically, they're top-five in categories such as starting ERA, runs scored, home runs and RBI, to name a few.
However, just look at the fact that the Colorado Rockies are also in ...
The Oakland Raiders’ training camp and preseason work will be all about competition, and the wide receiver spot will be one of the more intriguing ones to watch.
This group is still quite young and inexperienced but certainly doesn’t lack talent or potential.
Upgrades made at the quarterback position will likely help their development and production, as should a second consecutive season in the same offensive scheme.
Here is a look at the Oakland Raiders’ wide receiver depth chart and how it currently projects with OTAs now well underway.Begin Slideshow
With an ankle injury to 2013 first round draft pick D.J. Hayden shining a light on their noticeable lack of depth at cornerback, the Oakland Raiders have a need for a player the caliber of former Kansas City Chief Brandon Flowers.
As reported by CBSSports.com the Chiefs released Flowers on Friday after he failed to report to camp, apparently unhappy with his role in the Chiefs new defensive scheme and unwilling to restructure his contract after a Pro Bowl appearance last season.
Flowers has 17 career interceptions and has averaged over 60 tackles per season in his six-year career. He's played his entire career ...
It’s always quite an intense battle between these two California foes. The Bay Area’s Oakland Athletics taking on SoCal’s Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim in a matchup between the American League West’s top two teams; and the series was every bit as competitive as expected between these intrastate adversaries.
Though the 2014 campaign is just approaching mid-June, there was a September-like atmosphere at Angel Stadium the past few days. The Athletics entered Monday’s opener leading the West, with a 4.5-game lead over the second-place Angels. The Angels, who want to legitimately contend for a division title this year, needed to improve their ...
For the first time in a decade, fans of the Oakland Raiders have a real reason to be excited during the offseason.
While Al Davis is generally beyond reproach within the Raider Nation, there is no denying the damage he did following the team's loss in Super Bowl XXXVII.
Even the most diehard Silver and Black fans can now admit what the rest of the league knew for years: From 2003 until his passing in 2011, Davis' rash decision-making—the bad contracts, the revolving door of players and head coaches, the practice of blindly throwing money at problems—sabotaged the organization.
Reggie McKenzie's biggest challenge ...
Forget Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. There's a new pair of Bash Brothers in Oakland these days. Some 25 years after those two sluggers teamed up to torture pitchers and garnered all sorts of attention for doing so, the 2014 Athletics feature their own version of a damage-doing duo.
While McGwire and Canseco were household names back in the late 1980s and early 1990s for their homer-hitting exploits in the Bay Area, it's safe to say that Josh Donaldson and Brandon Moss are anything but.
For being arguably the two best players on the top team in the American League, Donaldson and Moss don't get ...
The Oakland Raiders began their final organized team activities before minicamp on June 9.
