UPDATE (8:15am on Thursday) -- The A's acquired Stephen Piscotty, the team announced.
***
It appears the A’s have checked one very large item off their to-do list at the Winter Meetings.
They’ve agreed to a trade for St. Louis outfielder Stephen Piscotty, according to a report from FanRag Sports. The A’s have not announced any deal, but Jon Heyman reports that two minor leaguers are going back to the Cardinals. Those players have not been identified.
If a deal is in place, there won’t be any announcement from the A’s until Piscotty has taken a physical.
