ESPN's Jason Churchill speculates that Oakland could shop Gio Gonzalez in exchange for some offense this winter.
The news should be taken with a grain of salt, as Gonzalez is coming off a season in which he finished ninth in the American League with 197 strikeouts and fourth in strikeouts per nine innings. If they A's were to sell high on his value, it would largely be due to the fact that he's arbitration eligible as a Super Two qualifier. The Rockies and Marlins are currently being thrown around as landing spots, with Logan Morrison being linked as a possible trading chip. Morrison fell out of favor with the Marlins last month when he filed grievance for what he believed was a wrongful demotion.


I would kill to have him.

maybe you can just tell Billy Beane you'll give him a David Bell signed baseball if he trades him

Would much rather trade Lomo for him than James Shields.

Same here Bobo. But I really don't want to trade Lomo. I'd rather do Gaby, Dominguez and maybe someone else instead.

Why would Oakland trade him and Gaby/Dominguez wouldn't even be close to getting him.

Nothing we could offer would really be close to getting him.

Can't we offer the A's a player that's great defensively and totally sucks ass on offense? They seem to like that type of player these days.

Someone speculating that he could be traded means the A's are shopping him?
