Newsbreakers
July 27, 2008
Matt Murton has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, according to the AP. The team called up outfielder Eric Patterson from Sacramento as the corresponding move.

Our View:Murton was demoted as he only hit .100 (3-for-30) over nine games with the Athletics since being acquired from the Cubs.
July 26, 2008
A's outfielder Matt Murton has struggled since going to Oakland, and after going 0-for-4 today, he is now hitting just .100 since being traded.

Our View:It's too early to give up on Murton yet if you have him on your fantasy squad, but it's not too early to be concerned, as his overall numbers are poor. He is hitting under .200 on the year overall.
July 17, 2008
The Tampa Tribune lists A's outfielder Matt Murton as a potential trade target for the Rays.

Our View:The source states that Murton would provide the Rays with the right-handed outfield bat they covet. Murton was recently dealt to Oakland as part of the package that sent Rich Harden to Chicago.
July 12, 2008
Matt Murton started in left field for his new team on Friday. He finished the game 1-for-5 with two RBI.

Our View:Let's hope Murton can turn it around in Oakland, as he never really fit in with the Cubs. He batted in the No. 2 hole on Friday. Take a wait-and-see approach as he won't likely become a fantasy contributor overnight.
July 11, 2008
Matt Murton will join the Athletics on Friday. He was traded to Oakland in the Rich Harden deal. To make room for Murton, the A’s optioned infielder Wes Bankston to Sacramento. Bankston hit .294 with one home run and nine RBI in nine games with Oakland.

Our View:Murton should see plenty of at-bats while playing the corner outfield spots for the Athletics. He could see at-bats immediately.
