The A’s can’t sell the embarrassing present, and right now, they can’t even sell the promise of the future.
After making four high-profile trades before Opening Day that involved sending fan favorites Chris Bassitt, Matt Chapman, Sean Manaea and Matt Olson elsewhere, the A’s were optimistic that some of the talent coming back to Oakland would provide an immediate spark to the 2022 club.Center fielder Cristian Pache, a centerpiece of the trade that sent Olson to the Braves, returned to face his former club Tuesday and went 0-for-3 in a 3-2 loss.
Pitchers Zach Logue and Kirby Snead, acquired alongside Smith in the Chapman trade, have combined to allow 24 earned runs over 35 major league innings this season. J.T. Ginn, a former second-round draft pick who came to Oakland in the Bassitt trade with the Mets, posted a 6.48 ERA at Double-A Midland before hitting the injured list in mid-May.
Knowing Beane and Forst and understanding ownership’s intense desire to slash payroll, the front office has time to recover.
