An Adames trade makes too much sense.  Therefore, it is outside Zaidi’s comfort zone.  

Maybe the next GM will have the “aggressive gene” that Zaidi lacks.

The San Diego media has been reporting that there's been a recent upsurge in interest in Ha-Seong Kim, their $7 mms. Gold Glove second baseman (and former KBO teammate of new Giant Lee) in the last year of his contract. Strong hitter, finished 14th in MVP voting, sturdy (played 152 games) and in contract year. Hopefully Farhan is responsible for the recent interest. As you pointed out, would make too much sense. Would like to get both Adames and Kim. Clear out the low minors of pitching and hitting for trade bait and throw in Conforto, Villar and ... ?

BTW, the A's have signed Ross Stripling, Alex Wood and Scott Alexander (as of today)
