The Oakland A’s announced a minor transaction Sunday morning, acquiring outfielder Ryan LaMarre from the Angels in exchange for either a player to be named later or cash considerations. To make room on the 40-man roster, starting pitcher Chris Bassitt was transferred to the 60-day DL as he continues his rehab from Tommy John surgery.
LaMarre, 28, has briefly appeared in MLB but has mostly topped out in the high minors. He debuted with the Reds in 2015 and suited up for the Red Sox in 2016, but racked up only 32 plate appearances overall (and only two hits, both singles).
