The Athletics were not planning on moving recently acquired pitcher Jason Hammel before Thursday's trade deadline, but FOXSports.com reports they have been "flooded" with calls about his availability and could change their minds.
The Athletics acquired another starting pitcher prior to Thursday's deadline, which could leave Hammel as the odd-man out in the rotation. Hammel hasn't helped his case in four starts with the A's, allowing 18 runs on 26 hits and 10 walks in 17 innings of work.
