Nashville manager Steve Scarsone has never been one to let a good prank slip by. He often saves his good stuff for the times when he’s able to tell one of his players he is going to the big leagues.
Such was the case Sunday when Andrew Triggs, a 27-year-old right-hander with minimal Triple-A experience got the call to the bigs from Oakland.
“I was the bullpen coach yesterday, and I had the walkie-talkie,’’ Triggs said. “Scar brought me in after the game and told me I’d broken it, and I’d have to pay for it. And then he said I had to go buy a new one in Oakland.
