The Oakland A’s designated Dustin Fowler for assignment, the team announced Monday. The outfielder is removed from the 40-man roster, and within the next week he must either be traded or placed on waivers.
The Fowler DFA made room for the A’s to officially announce the signing of free agent closer Trevor Rosenthal and add him to the 40-man. They’ll still have to clear one more spot for DH Mitch Moreland, who was also signed last week but whose deal hasn’t been made official.
