OAK-PHI

[Oakland Athletics]

Oakland trades:

Kyle Gibson 4/18 UFA/19

Philadelphia trades:

Franklyn Kilome (Prospect)
Derek Hill (Prospect)
Kevin Cron (Prospect)

I accept. It hurts to lose a top durable arm in Gibson but I have a lot of SP depth and was glad to add some prospects that have a chance to contribute in the future. Thanks for the deal Philly.

Gibson has been good this year and more importantly, he has been healthy. As sad as it is, he becomes my "ace" for the moment. If he doesn't implode, I should be able to get another year or two out of him. Traded from depth in my minors, which may come back to bite me, but they won't help me this year and my window is closing.
