LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- As the A's continue to sort through potential fits among available right-handed-hitting outfielders and lefty relievers, they won't add a catcher to their to-do list -- at least for the time being.
Despite uncertainty surrounding Bruce Maxwell's future in baseball because of ongoing legal matters, the A's still have him penciled in as their primary catcher for the 2018 season.
Maxwell, 26, is awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct stemming from his Oct. 28 arrest at his Scottsdale, Ariz.
