It was the logical thought process, once the Blue Jays cut Frank Thomas last week - “Bring him back to the A’s! We loved him here!”

Now, it sounds like there are rumblings of that actually happening.

I wouldn’t bet on it though, as who would be sacrificed to bring him back? Jack Cust, who has disappointed so far (.148/.361/.241)? Or Mike Sweeney, who has been doing well enough to keep a roster spot (.288/.367/.346)? I don’t see the A’s giving up on Cust that quickly after the season he had last year. It’s still only April.
