The Oakland A’s are in urgent need of pitching help, with their bullpen holding the league’s worst ERA and starters sidelined by injury. With top target Connelly Early gone to the Nationals, they’re turning to young, controllable arms — and Seattle’s Emerson Hancock is a prime candidate. Despite a solid 3.16 ERA over 105 innings, Hancock’s overshadowed by Mariners’ other arms and is under control until 2031. While a division trade seems unlikely, the A’s could swing a deal by offering prospects like Tyler Soderstrom and Tommy White — possibly even Carlos Cortes — to land Hancock before the deadline.
