The Athletics are once again in the cellar of the American League West, and in the first season of starting pitcher Luis Severino’s three-year contract, the Athletics are already on the verge of trading him away at the deadline, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Severino has struggled at home in Sacramento but has been fantastic on the road this season, and he has expressed his contempt for the ballpark in Sacramento.

Severino is winless at home with a 6.79 ERA, playing in the minor league ballpark the Athletics are calling home as they await their new stadium in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, he has been outstanding on the road in seven starts, posting a 2.27 ERA.

“The Athletics are now open to trading him after he continues to bash the environment in Sacramento, agitating the organization,” Nightengale wrote. “It may come as a surprise if he’s still with the organization come August.”

If the Athletics choose to move on from Severino, teams searching for starting pitching should be calling on him as the trade deadline approaches. Teams will likely look at Severino’s road starts as his value-building numbers and what he will bring to their team.

Meanwhile, his atrocious home performances will likely be brushed over while teams look for depth in the rotation heading for the stretch run.

With a light starting pitcher class for this season’s trade deadline, Severino might be one of the league’s hottest commodities as July kicks off.
