We’re puttin’ the farm back together!
The Oakland A’s signed outfielder Billy McKinney to a minor league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training, the team announced Wednesday evening.
This is McKinney’s second tour in the A’s organization, nearly eight years after the last time he was here. His signing last night marked the second time Wednesday that Oakland brought back one of their former prospects, after also claiming infielder Sheldon Neuse off waivers that morning.
The A’s originally drafted McKinney in 2013, in the 1st round out of high school.
