He had an option at 550 PA when Oakland released him. Since he was quickly picked up and played frequently for the White Sox, he's now only 29 PA away from triggering his $16 mil option, with 13 games to play. If he does, Oakland will be on the hook for the entire $16 mil (minus league minimum, presumably).Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

From CBS:
The Oakland A's announced Thursday that the club has reached an agreement to build a stadium on land near the Las Vegas Strip. As a result, the team stated that they are hoping to be playing games in their new stadium by 2027.
However, a move to Las Vegas could come sooner than that. A's president Dave Kaval told The New York Times that the A's could play their home games at Las Vegas Ballpark, which is currently the home of the Las Vegas Aviators. The Aviators are currently the Triple A affiliate of the A's.

I ran across a statistic today that I could not believe. Everyone knows that Oakland is terrible. But did you realize that coming into today their team ERA is 8.05? Yeah, it's still early in the season but 8.05 after 4 weeks??? The 2nd worst team ERA is the WhiteSox at 5.65. MLB average is 4.30. When is the last time a team ERA was as high as 8.05 4 weeks into the season? Ever?
BTW, their team BA is .227, 25th in MLB.

Their pythag record is 6-23.
In other words, they fully deserve to be this bad.
