Was there ever any doubt that Jed Lowrie would eventually find his way back to the Oakland A’s?
The A’s signed the free agent infielder to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training, the team announced Wednesday.
When we last saw Lowrie in Oakland, he was their starting second baseman and made the All-Star team in 2018. Then he left in free agency and signed a two-year contract with the New York Mets, and basically hasn’t played since. A variety of injuries limited him to eight plate appearances in 2019, and he missed all of 2020 with a knee problem diagnosed as PCL laxity.
