Athletics' Reddick jokes Billy Beane has redeemed himself with Ben Zobrist trade
Kyle Terada / USA TODAY Sports
Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane is back in Josh Reddick's good books, at least for now.
The outfielder didn't hold back his feelings when Beane dealt slugger Josh Donaldson to the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this offseason.
But upon hearing news Beane worked a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays to bring Ben Zobrist and Yunel Escobar to the Bay Area, Reddick quickly changed his tune.
Beane has certainly been putting his players through the emotional ringer with numerous trades over the past year. Yoenis Cespedes, Brandon Moss, Jeff Samardzija, and now John Jaso have been sent packing.
And something tells me Beane isn't done wheeling and dealing just yet.
