With the questions surrounding Alex Gordon‘s future with the Kansas City Royals beyond this season, the team would be smart to take a look at Nick Martini who was recently designated for assignment by the Oakland Athletics. The A’s promoted first basement Seth Brown who slashed 0.297/0.352/0.34 with 37 home runs and 104 RBI’s in 112 games for Triple-A Las Vegas.
Martini, 29, was the odd man out. He played in just 6 games this season for the Athletics but slashed 0.328/0.432/0.482 with 8 home runs and 42 RBI’s in 70 games for Triple-A.
