The Angels and the Mariners both have better roster than if the A's got the band back together.
I also think some of these moves are trying to sell high while the A's still have a chance. Norris and Moss were terrible in the 2nd half of last season. It appears that their first half performances were the anomaly.
If you are going to criticize Beane, it was his all in Addison Russell trade. That was a horrible trade. I think he is making the right call now blowing everything up.
