Best of Twitter:
- It doesn’t look like the A’s will have room to protect Payton, nearly 28...
Team USA outfielder Mark Payton, who homered last night before a heavy @MLB scouting presence, is a name to remember for the Rule 5 draft if #Athletics don’t protect him on their 40-man later this month. He posted a 1.053 OPS at Las Vegas this year. LH-hitting corner OF.
