The A’s have added another reliever, picking up right-hander Wilmer Font in a deal with Los Angeles.
Oakland sent minor-league lefty Logan Salow, 23, to the Dodgers to complete the deal. The team has not made a corresponding move to put Font onto the 25-man roster and there is currently a 40-man roster spot open after Renato Nuñez was claimed on waivers earlier this month.
It’s unclear what Font’s role might be: The 27-year-old is 0-2 with a 11.32 ERA and a .383 opponents average this season, and he has given up five homers, most among big-league relievers.
