The Willingham deal is one that has been on and off for awhile. The A's were really close at last July's trade deadline to picking him up. The A's have walked away from Beltre but I guess you never know what will happen. If they could land Beltre or one more bat, they would be in a great position to contend in the division. My gut tells me Beane is pretty much done unless he has another trade in the works, which he might as he has 4 starting outfielders now.
