And the bottom line for the A's is there in the driver's seat. Whether is the Brewers, Cubs, Indians, Yanks, Astros, etc. going for Gray, the A's have 2 weeks to wait for the best offer. Gray has 2.5 years of control, so they don't even have to trade him this deadline. This year he has shown to be back to the normal Sonny Gray, so the price is going to be steep. Stearns has to decide if Gray is worth taking a chunk out of the farm system, and personally I think it's too early to do that.
