Outfielder Cody Thomas has a month-long stint on the active roster and appeared in 19 games for the Oakland Athletics before he was eventually crowded out and off the active roster.
How Acquired?
The A’s originally acquired Thomas from the Los Angeles Dodgers along with Adam Kolarek in exchange for Sheldon Neuse and Gus Varland.
What were the expectations?
Thomas was outrighted off the Athletics’ 40-man roster last December, but he stuck with the organization. As a player with some previous major league experience, he was good outfield depth to have in the event that he was needed.
