A source with knowledge of the situation said the A’s are trying to trade
for Seattle infielder Chone Figgins, and that current A’s third baseman
Kevin Kouzmanoff and perhaps a pitcher could be shipped to the Mariners in
return.
Figgins was lost in 2010, having been moved to second base and having
struggled at the plate. He still figures to be an above average defensive
third baseman, however, and even if he doesn’t draw 100 walks like he did in
2009, he is an offensive upgrade over Kouzmanoff, who has some pop but
struggles to get on base.
For the Mariners, this would be a salary-shedding move, as Figgins is owed
$26 million over the next three years. Normally you don’t see the A’s
taking on that kind of obligation, but given that they offered Adrian Beltre
serious cash, they are clearly comfortable spending some money to upgrade at
third.
如果达成交易,离开了水兵打线期待可以摆脱10年的囧境.....
