NEW YORK – The A’s roster continues to churn.
The team announced a series of moves that appear to position them to deal All-Star first baseman Yonder Alonso, who is reportedly coveted by a number of suitors as trade talks heat up.
First baseman Matt Olson and right-hander Frankie Montas were promoted from Triple-A Nashville and joined the club before Friday night’s game against the Mets. In another move that could help the A’s compensate for Alonso’s loss, they announced the signing of slugging first baseman Chris Carter to a minor league contract and assigned him to Nashville.
