A's Talking To DJ LeMahieu
6 years agoThe Oakland Athletics have shown interest in free-agent second baseman DJ LeMahieu, according to an industry source. The A's have interest in re-signing Jed Lowrie, but his asking price might be too high. LeMahieu is a two-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner and is four years younger than Lowrie at 30 years old. Should the A's sign LeMahieu or another right-handed hitting second baseman, they could decide to trade infielder Franklin Barreto for rotation help. LeMahieu sacrificed some average for a career-high 15 home runs with the Rockies in 2018, but a move to a pitching-friendly environment like Oakland would make him less attractive in fantasy for his bat.
