Reasons to bring him back
Bailey was better than anyone could have possibly hoped for after joining the A's in a midseason trade with Kansas City.
Reasons to let him go
While Bailey unquestionably helped the A's reach the postseason in 2019, Oakland's starting rotation for 2020 already appears stacked. Jesús Luzardo, Frankie Montas and A.J. Puk will join Sean Manaea and Mike Fiers to form an outstanding starting five, with Chris Bassitt available should anyone go down with an injury.
Final verdict
Bailey certainly was a pleasant surprise this season for the A's, but it's almost impossible to see him coming back. Oakland has plenty of talented, young arms ready to step into the starting rotation and Bailey likely will cost too much.
