Sure, but I doubt they give up their long-term catcher for it.
The last time Beane did something like that in terms of taking such a chance, it cost him years of Carlos Gonzalez so perhaps he'd be reluctant to do such a thing, again.
+ I'd say their pitching staff, without Anibal, is good enough to make the playoffs this year, anyway. What they need is some bats. Maybe they'd be interested in Infante to play 3B or something. It'd be an upgrade over Brandon Inge and their system is good so I'd be happy trading with them.

To add to that, if Oakland were to take a risk and trade an asset like Norris, I'd assume they'd do it for Hanley instead of Anibal.
