A’s Some bats to add at the deadline

The A’s are certainly in the market for some added offense, but are there any that add to their depth in their price range? Here are a few they may look into. ADAM DUVALL, MIAMI MARLINS OUTFIELDER >> The sinking Marlins could place Duvall on the trading block, and he may not cost a fortune in terms of prospects or extra cash. Duvall, 32, is on a contract that guarantees him $2 million in 2021, with a $7 million mutual option or a $3 million buyout for 2022.

Though Duvall is righthanded, his split favors atbats against right-handed

pitching -- a need for the A’s as their wins tip favorably against left-handed pitching this year. Duvall has hit .255 with 17 home runs against right-handed pitchers this year.

BEN GAMEL, PITTSBURGH PIRATES OUTFIELDER >> The tanking Pirates have already traded away their All-Star Adam Frazier to the San Diego Padres. Maybe the A’s could barter a trade for Gamel, a lefthanded-hitting outfielder with one more year left of arbitration before he hits free agency. Gamel, 29, is on a one-year, $1.5 million contract for 2021.

Gamel’s 26% strikeout rate is a little high, but he’s batting .261/.333/.443 with a .776 OPS in 61 games this year.

ROBBIE GROSSMAN, DETROIT TIGERS OUTFIELDER

Could a reunion be on

the table? The switch-hitting Grossman, 31, is making $5 million on a twoyear deal. His 16% walk rate and .356 on-base percentage is the big draw along with a .231 average and a solid 15 home runs. JONATHAN SCHOOP, DETROIT

TIGERS SECOND BASEMAN >> Schoop draws a walk only 5.5% of the time, but has an impressive 9.3% barrel rate and is batting .287 with 17 home runs this year. Schoop, 29, is on a one-year $4.5 million deal — a free agent in 2022.
