Good morning everyone! We at Athletics Nation hope each and everyone of you had a safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend.
The Athletics made a major shakeup on their roster a few days ago when they recalled several notable prospects and said goodbye for now to other players. One of those moves was to designate outfielder/first baseman Seth Brown for assignment to create both 26-man and 40-man roster room for the new additions. With that designation meant that any and every team in the league would get the chance to claim the 32-year-old off waivers, which would also have meant taking on the remainder of his $2.
