Oakland <3 Washington

[Edgy MD]

The Nats/Ats relationship is starting to get weird. Today they announced that versatile outfielder Corey Brown goes to Oakland (back to Oakland) for multi-position player Cash Kinsiderashins.

Brown had previously gone from Oakland to Washington in the Josh Willingham trade back in 2010.

But the bigger story is that this is the third trade between these two teams this offseason and the eighth in the last three years. WHAT'S THE DEAL, BILLY BEANE?!

Is this the sister married to the crack-smoking basketball player or the rapper?

Nor is Corey Brown the first player to get re-traded back to his original team of these two during this span.
