Oakland, St. Louis Make Trade Sunday, December 28th , 2110 You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you find a deal anyway. The Baseball News Network is reporting that Oakland and St. Louis have made a swap with a 4th round draft pick being shipped to the Cardinals and in return the Athletics would get 24-year old LHP John Neal. Oakland general manager Jon Pearson said the two sides were close to a blockbuster trade before agreeing upon a smaller scale transaction. "This is just a bit of housekeeping compared to what we wanted to do," he said. "I won't name names, but the potential deal we were close to making would have certainly grabbed some headlines." A source inside the Oakland organization said the two sides might not be done dealing, and another transaction could be in the works. |
