Good morning everyone! Rise and shine!
The Athletics are officially don with the month of April. Looking back at how the first month went, some things went just about as expected or better and some things went off the rails from the jump.
Just in case you missed it yesterday, the Athletics made a switch in their pitching corps just before the evening game against the Texas Rangers. The club selected the contract of pitcher Carlos Duran from Triple-A, adding a hulking 6’7” right-hander to the pitching mix at the big league level. To make room for him the team optioned lefty Jacob Lopez back to Triple-A.
