The Oakland Athletics have acquired right-handed relief pitcher Edward Mujica and cash considerations from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later or cash considerations, the team announced during Saturday night's game against the Seattle Mariners. Mujica, turning 31 on Sunday, was designated for assignment on Friday. To clear space on the 40-man roster, Jarrod Parker was transferred to the 60-day disabled list. A 25-man roster move is not expected until Mujica reports.
Mujica is owed $4.25 million in 2015, the final year of his contract.
