A’s announce 2021 alternate site roster, schedule

The Oakland A’s will hold their alternate training site camp in Stockton this summer, and there will be one major difference from how it operated last year — they’ll get to play games against another team.

The A’s announced their alt-site roster on Sunday, which includes 26 players, or 27 pending the completion of a current DFA. In addition, there’s a tentative schedule of 16 scrimmages against the San Francisco Giants alt-site players.

With the minor league season not starting until May, the 2021 alt-sites provide somewhere for MLB reserve players to stay warm and continue getting practice reps.
