Big Budget A's

I decided to have some fun and imagine that the A's suddenly have more money than the Dodgers, and I simmed the offseason with buckets of money. Keep in mind that this is hyper unrealistic, and the trade is so incredibly ridiculous, though the values technically match up in BTV. Without further ado, I give you the Big Budget A's!
