OAKLAND -- The A's claimed a familiar name off waivers Thursday morning, reeling in outfielder Trayce Thompson from the Yankees.
Brother Klay Thompson stars for the Golden State Warriors next door.
"I think it's pretty cool," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "I talked to him, and he's really excited. I think everybody is pretty excited about that, not just us on the team, but the fanbase might like that one as well.
"I know Klay a little bit, and I'm sure he's pretty happy about this, too.
