The Pirates won't be getting him. The A's gave up a decent outfield prospect, Andre Ethier, in exchange for Bradley and infielder Antonio Perez. Ethier isn't a top-flight prospect and Perez could end up being a very good starting infielder, so it's safe to say the Pirates could have gotten Bradley without giving up a whole lot. Missing out on a wackjob like Bradley won't cause me to miss any sleep, though.
