Wow.

Bradley had to have done something to really upset management and/or his teammates. Sure, the club was at least a little frustrated about his frequent injuries, but he was playing pretty well when he was able to take the field, batting .292/.373/.446 in 65 at-bats. Maybe the A's will be able to trade him for some relief help, though he'll have little value left now that the team has to move him. The Padres, Cardinals, Marlins, White Sox, Astros, Rangers, Braves, Yankees, Orioles and Mets are some of the possible contenders that could use him, and since he's making just $4 million and is a free agent at season's end, it wouldn't be a huge risk to bring him in.

The Cards need to trade Ryan Franklin and his lucky 1.57 ERA for him.

Milton will be a steal for some club.

This is a very surprising move to be sure becasuse Bradley is still a good talent. However, it isn't that unexpected saying they have a full outfield already with Buck, Kotsay and Swisher. Still is interesting though to see the A's just eat money like this.

D'Backs need a bat, badly. I hope they look at this somewhat. Quentin sucks right now.

I doubt he gets outright released... he'll likely be traded for a bullpen arm. But still... damn. What a waste.

Bradley traded to Royals.

royals trade cancelled, apparently bradley pulled his oblique while eating a donut before the trade.

i said id like to get him and just ship him off before the deadline.

plus watching this team from game to game our hitting isnt even that great, we're inconsistent and mainly can only manufacture runs by hitting homers. if i didnt want our team to rebuild milton bradley would be a great guy to have for a team like ours that lacks plate discipline.
