Cash considerations are on the move again, as the Oakland Athletics have acquired left-handed pitcher Felix Doubront from the Toronto Blue Jays. The acquisition was announced with about 30 minutes before Friday's 1:00 PM Pacific Time non-waiver trade deadline. Doubront is out of options, and will need to be added to the 25-man roster prior to his reporting to the Athletics. As a player with over three years of MLB service time, Doubront would have the right to elect free agency if he instead cleared outright waivers.
The Blue Jays designated Doubront for assignment after that club obtained shortstop Troy Tulowitzki from the Colorado Rockies.
