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. Their first round of cuts last weekend took them down to 63, and on Sunday they reassigned nine more players to minor league camp to drop down to 54:
- LHP Felix Doubront
- RHP Tyler Sturdevant
- SS Richie Martin
- IF Jermaine Curtis
- IF Max Muncy
- IF Rangel Ravelo
- IF Josh Rodriguez
- OF Andrew Lambo
- OF Kenny Wilson
We’re still early in this process, and none of these names are surprises.
