Every team enters spring training with way more players than it will end up needing. Between the 40-man roster and a slew of prospects and other non-roster invitees, the Oakland A’s began with 70 players, and they’ll have to cut that number down to 25 by Opening Day. They began that process on Sunday by reassigning seven pitchers to minor league camp, with no particular surprises among them:
- RHP Michael Brady
- RHP Trey Cochran-Gill
- RHP Heath Fillmyer
- RHP Tucker Healy
- RHP Aaron Kurcz
- LHP A.J. Puk
- RHP Josh Smith
Puk pitched on Sunday and was reassigned after the game, while the other six were sent down in the morning before the day’s action.
