I have to wonder if teams are flat-out refusing to trade with us, in order to prevent Beane from doing what he would prefer to do. He mentioned trying to trade up for Bishop, multiple times in his presser last night...
Maybe what all these soon-to-spam-WGR whiner liners DON'T know is that Beane HAS been trying. Believe it or not, this ain't Madden: You can't just force trades, and none of us here have a clue what Beane is thinking or trying to do.
Chew on that.
