Oakland A's Rumors: Could Ben Sheets be going to Oakland?
ByIs it possible that Ben Sheets is going to Oakland? Mychael Urban of CSN Bay Area Tweets: sorry #athletics fans, had to miss the desme call. had a bigger fish to fry for you. you might be getting some really good news next week.
He later Tweets: #athletics fans: I know it’s a mean tease, but I’ll give u this: it’s probly what u’re thinking. No guarantees, but it looks good. I’m out!
This could be anything from a new A’s stadium to what many believe on Twitter: free agent Ben Sheets.
Earlier this week, Buster Olney of ESPN Tweets: The Mets and OAK might be in the best position to be aggressive, based on the agents’ perception of who has money this late in the winter.
Olney later said, “If he wanted to pitch in a good pitcher’s park, Sheets could make something happen with the Mets. If he wants to pitch against hitters he knows, he could work out a deal with the Cubs. If he wants to work with a good defense, and in a good pitcher’s park, he could go to Oakland. If he wants to reunite with former Brewers pitching coach Mike Maddux, there is always the Rangers.”
We’ll find out as soon as somebody can confirm Sheets’ interest with the Athletics.
