OAKLAND–The Oakland A’s have been trying to find their way since 2014 when they traded Yoenis Cespedes and Josh Donaldson. This has been a consistent pattern for the A’s the team is to put mildly floundering last place in the AL West. Their ten games under .500 and their not going to contend. The A’s will be taking a look at their personnel to see what direction the team wants to go.

The A’s this year the starting rotation all five starters have been on the DL and currently pitcher Andrew Triggs is on the DL and the A’s aren’t sure when Triggs is coming back. Sonny Gray was on the DL with a lat sprang he came back and didn’t pitch not so well in some of the other starts. In his last start against the Astros Gray started the game by throwing the ball back to the back stop. It didn’t look like he had any control and he had a rough outing.
