In the last hour before the trade deadline, the Oakland Athletics acquired left-handed starting pitcher Felix Doubront from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations. Doubront had been designated for assignment on Wednesday to make room for Troy Tulowitzki who the Blue Jays acquired from the Colorado Rockies. This starting pitcher is expected to take Scott Kazmir’s spot in the A’s starting rotation even though the Athletics currently have newcomer Aaron Brooks slated to start the game on Saturday against the Cleveland Indians.
