LOS ANGELES – The A’s continued bolstering their young pitching depth with Tuesday’s trade of Ben Zobrist to Kansas City, and it’s possible A’s fans see one of the new additions soon.
Right-hander Aaron Brooks, one of two pitchers Oakland acquired from the Royals, has been starting at Triple-A for most of the season but has a bit of big league experience dating back to last year.
“Brooks is a guy that probably can come up very soon, with injuries, and the depth being cut into because of some of those injuries,” A’s general manager Billy Beane said.
