As have many many star performers before him... Barry Zito will not be retained by the A's. They'll deal them to the highest bidder after this season. This is no longer a prediction, it's a certainty. The comment from Billy Beane is that the prospect for a long term contract does not look good. Thats Moneyball talk for "we're gonna see what we can get in exchange for him before he walks."
My guess is that if they don;t need him, it will happen before the end of the season. But maybe at next year's Winter Meetings.
