The Oakland A’s made their second round of spring training cuts on Sunday, sending down nine players from MLB camp including reliever Jordan Weems. In addition, they lost reliever Nik Turley on waivers, then sent down infielder Jacob Wilson on Monday, and optioned catcher Austin Allen on Wednesday. That’s 12 names off the board, leaving 37 players in camp.
The cuts themselves were mostly routine, made up of young prospects and depth veterans who were never likely to make the Opening Day roster. However, the sheer reduction of quantity did provide some final answers for one area of the squad.
