Bradford for Payton?
The A's have reportedly agreed to a deal that will send Chad Bradford (back) to Boston for disgruntled outfielder Jay Payton. - Rotoworld.com
Interesting. I would have liked to see Bradford come off the DL and back in our pen, but then again this trade could be as a result of perhaps one of the OF'ers getting traded soon.
Payton had been complaining recently in Boston about playing time with manager Terry Francona, and according to Rotoworld, had a recent confrontation with the guy in the dugout that finally caused the front office to make a move. That's what makes me think if he does infact come to Oakland, he's going to demand a starting role, and the A's just might end up having a hole to have him fill.
Then again, a lot of people are saying Beane will immediately ship him elsewhere upon his acquisition, but we'll see.

Well, I think if Kotsay gets traded that the A's will pay for it. We could live without Byrnes, but I hate to see a fan favorite go. He isn't the best outfielder, but he is a hitter and a firecracker. I think the best trade may be Kielty (to give Payton a place in the OF), as he is on fire right now and worth something. Who knows. I love Bradford and will miss him.
