Oakland Athletics Arbitration Estimates

Brandon Moss

Moss is boss so he should command a hefty salary, right? Well, in 2015 he’ll probably bring in around 7.1 million clams, up from $4.1 million in 2014. With two years remaining under team control, I find it unlikely that Moss is going to be traded before the deadline in 2015. If the A’s are in contention, they’re going to want to have that power bat right behind Billy Butler and his WAR is third best on the team (behind Donaldson, Reddick and Norris).

If Moss is on path to a 30 homerun season in 2015, he could still be very valuable for a team in 2016 even if there was only one year of team control left and he’d likely be too expensive for Oakland to keep so the odds of seeing him beyond 2015 in the green and gold seems unlikely but I won’t be shocked to see him here for the duration of the year.
