@Athletics photo: Oakland A’s Khris Davis swings so hard. He’s just a blur. That’s the way things have been going for him at the plate as of late.

On the A’s podcast with Charlie O:

1) The Trade Deadline has come and gone and the A’s did not make any last minute roster moves. Did that surprise you?

2) Houston made several moves which we expected but you say one may help while another may wind up hurting the Astros.

3) Seattle made deals, but did any of those deals help them get better?

4) The Yankees may well be in the AL Wild Card game, which is where the A’s could be headed — how did they improve at the deadline?

5) What’s coming up for the A’s this week?
