MLB Trade Deadline: 3 Oakland Athletics players likely to be traded by July 30

The Oakland Athletics are in an interesting spot heading into the MLB Trade Deadline. While the club is well outside of a postseason berth, the team has been one of the top offensive teams in the MLB. Several teams will be sellers, and with the A's set to undergo relocation, their situation differs from every other team.

"Call it a trend. The Oakland Athletics’ offense turned in another dominating game, this time generating an 8-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels Saturday at the Coliseum — the eighth time in their last 10 games that the offense has scored five or more runs" - @sfchronicle

That said, the Oakland Athletics will likely be looking to move some of their aging veterans and expiring contracts to add pieces for their rebuild. Given how hot the club has been at the plate this season, they will likely draw interest from several contenders before the trade deadline.

A closer look at 3 Oakland Athletics players who could be moved before the MLB Trade Deadline

Brent Rooker

One of the top players who could be moved at the trade deadline is Brent Rooker. The hard-hitting veteran has been a monster for the A's this season and will be one of the most sought-after names on the market. The outfielder and designated hitter could be a massive upgrade for several contenders looking to add to their lineups before the postseason.

Abraham Toro

Abraham Toro has enjoyed a strong season for the Oakland Athletics. He could be a much more affordable option for clubs looking for a versatile defender with above-average plate skills. Toro has two more years of team control. He could be a long-term addition to clubs looking for more than just a rental option.

Lucas Erceg

There has been a ton of buzz around flamethrowing closer Mason Miller all season. Sidelined with an injury, the star reportedly has a sizable price tag. Enter Lucas Erceg, who could be a cheaper relief pitcher for teams to acquire.

Several top contenders, including the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies, could be looking for bullpen help, and Erceg could be a low-cost addition.
