A’s GM David Forst: “We’re not going to shy away from free agency. … We have a lot of talent here but we also have holes to fill. We’ll be exhaustive in how we look at the pool of available players.”

Asked if payroll might be same, down or up: “I think those conversations are still ongoing. I don’t have that answer yet. But I’m confident we’ll have money to spend in free agency.”

Jace Peterson and Aledmys Diaz were a waste of money.

They'll take an exhaustive look at minor league free agents and high risk no reward types.

"If they come cheap, we'll sign someone. They'll be high risk, low reward, but they'll be in our budget. Which is non-existant." FIFY.

Hahaaaaaa, come on man, just sell the team. The toilets explode into the dugouts, you ain’t getting anyone, you can afford a plumber.

Spend all the money on a few good reliable veteran arms. Let everything else play out.

Worst GM in MLB + $20 payroll = 3rd straight 100+ loss season with a bunch of no name vets taking up ABs and innings from the kiddos. BOOM! #Athletics 😂😂😂

LMFAAAAAO. with signings like Aledmys Diaz and Jace Peterson... that doesn't count. IDK how this First guy still has a job. He can't win a trade to save his life.

Hard to believe anything coming from A's organization. Especially about spending money.

We are going to grow our AAA team into a Major League team over the next 2 yrs. While hiring journeymen to help guide them to MLB status. Once they reach that status, we will start trading them off, to get a slightly better player to help us that season, to make a PO run.

Was any of this put online or broadcasted? Doesn’t every other club do that?

Translation if your a decent player and looking to retire soon consider us if you don't want to be a house dad quite yet

They’ll be exhaustive as long as that doesn’t include spending a lot of money

Free agents must be willing to take a 2 mil contract with five years worth of deferrals
