A's Starter Gio Gonzalez might be available

Granted the link is to a post talking about the Miami Marlins and Oakland A's, but the key is outfielders. In this case, Oakland is looking for young outfielders and Trevor Plouffe and/or Ben Revere might be enough for Billy Beane to pull the trigger. Gio Gonzalez is a lefty pitcher with great upside in the fact he is the staff ace and could perform the same or better at Target Field. At the same time, Oakland wants young outfielders and Plouffe and/or Revere would likely be a good addition to their ballclub.

They wanted Mike Stanton from Florida. I think he may be out of our price range.

I think Billy Beane might laugh himself to death at the offer mooted above.

Revere and Plouffe? Are you assuming that players who can’t hit doubles, can’t get on base, and can’t make accurate throws are the new market inefficiency?

Revere and Plouffe for a staff ace...

I’ll take it!
