The offseason is past, spring training is done, and the regular season is only 24 hours away, but Wednesday brought the one thing that really makes it all feel official: the Oakland A’s announced their 2018 Opening Day roster!
After months of debating and speculating, we finally know which 25 players will suit up on Thursday against the Angels. First, a few precursor moves to set the scene:
- Late addition Trevor Cahill will open in Triple-A while he finishes getting ready for a starter’s workload.
- Outfield prospect Dustin Fowler will open in Triple-A while he finishes tuning up after a long injury recovery.
