It’s the 18th anniversary of Jose Canseco being pulled from the on-deck circle in a game at the Coliseum, so trades do happen on August 31. I’m looking at Brad Ziegler’s place in the A’s bullpen, with 7 appearances for a total of 6 innings in the month of August, plus Slusser’s disclosure [...] Among the many things that have made 2010 a memorable season for Mariners fans: It was Byrnesie’s swan song!
