Oakland Athletics Need To Bring Up Outfielder Jake Smolinski

A little over a week ago, the Oakland Athletics claimed outfielder Jake Smolinski off of waivers from the Texas Rangers. This transaction was intriguing because Smolinski did not show the same potential at the beginning of this season that he did in 2014. Yet, the Athletics still wanted him, and now it seems as though it was the right move to make. This 26-year-old is finding major success in Triple-A and it is time for the A’s to bring him up to Oakland.

Smolinski was brought up to the majors for the first time in July 2014.
