Nine players were sent down to the minors in various capacities, though all still remain in the A’s organization.
One of the cuts came from the 40-man roster, meaning the player was optioned to Triple-A:
RHP Jordan Weems
The rest were non-roster invitees, who were reassigned to minor league mini-camp:
RHP Domingo Acevedo
RHP Argenis Angulo
RHP Matt Blackham
RHP Ben Bracewell
C Tyler Soderstrom
