Oakland Athletics: Biggest Winners and Losers from the Offseason

The Oakland Athletics' offseason has been...busy, to say the least.

After a myriad of moves, fans and analysts continue to debate whether the A's will remain contenders or fail to finish above .500.

Some say they're winners, because doubting Billy Beane is foolish. Others argue they're losers, because the A's did not adequately replace the talent lost.

In all, the team traded away Josh Donaldson, Brandon Moss, Jeff Samardzija and Derek Norris. The A's let a slew of free agents sign elsewhere, and they acquired Brett Lawrie, Ben Zobrist, Tyler Clippard, Marcus Semien and multiple prospects.

As the debate over the team rages on, a few individuals came out as winners this offseason—while others get bumped out of glory.
