ESPN is reporting that Athletic slugger Frank Thomas could be about to sign an agreement with the Toronto Blue Jays. Sniff. I really hoped that the A’s might cough up the big bucks to resign Thomas, who was really the only bat in the lineup for the Athletics that any team took seriously. But the Jays are reportedly offering a two year deal potentially worth $30 million, so you can hardly blame the Big Hurt for looking toward greener pastures. Well, if you are on the way to Toronto, take my best wishes Frank. It was great to see a sure Hall of Famer swing the bat, you made a great impact on our season, and I’ll be sad to see you missing from the Oakland lineup.
