How many studs has Oakland let go the last few years lol.... Yoenis, Donaldson...
Last few years? Last few years?
How about since Charlie Finley dumped everyone during at the dawn of free agency, gutting the early 70s dynasty?
It's been that way ever since. Where have you been?
This is the way it's been for forty f'ing years.
Develop great players, watch them leave. It's no different today than it's ever been.
Some things work out, others don't. Still too early to call the Donaldson deal a bust with Barreto still coming but yeah that's a lot of ground to make up lol.
You have Braves fans gloating about how terrible they are this year... But oh yeah they made the playoffs 16 straight seasons and had HOFers play their whole careers there. The A's? Our hall of famers start here, go off and have huge careers elsewhere, then maybe come back to finish in Oakland when they are 42.
Last few years. Fuck,
