A’s re-sign Felix Doubront, Matt McBride

The A’s have re-signed three more of their own minor-league free agents, The Chronicle has learned, including a starter who is coming off Tommy John surgery who says he feels stronger than ever.

Left-hander Felix Doubront, who missed all of last season after having elbow ligament replacement surgery in April, is returning to Oakland on a minor-league deal and he could be back in action in the first half, providing some depth in the rotation.

“I’m excited,” Doubront said in a text to The Chronicle. “I felt comfortable with Oakland and they took care of me, so I want to repay them on their investment and help them in the big leagues.
