Brandon Moss is working his way back from hip surgery and has kept close tabs on what the Oakland Athletics have done so far this offseason.

The Athletics acquired Ike Davis in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates this week, giving them a surplus of first at first base.

"The whole world noticed," Moss said. "You never know; the front office likes to mix up. I'm trying not to let anything surprise me, because I don't want to be blindsided. Obviously, I love playing in Oakland, but when this happened, I knew it could mean someone else gets moved."
