The A’s have added a big piece to their bullpen in their quest to take the AL West crown after completing a trade for Chicago Cubs left-hander Andrew Chafin late Monday night.

The Athletics have officially acquired LHP Andrew Chafin and cash from the Cubs for OF Greg Deichmann and minor league RHP Daniel Palencia.
