A's agree. Hated moving Spencer but thats the price of business. I move two other prospects that I do like but I just took over the A's and they are a playoff team this past season. This move provides some depth in case of injuries. I also pick up a rp I can plug in as well. Just the first of many moves for the A's this coming offseason

To echo what @STLBlues91 said, moving two young players in Raley and Nootbaar was not what I had in mind. However, I need to be very selective on how many players I will be able to extend by the time that my competitive window opens up in 2025-2026. Spencer vs. those two was the main crux for me.

Thanks for the discussion, Chase!
