Sean Newcomb spent six big league seasons all in the National League before landing with the A’s late in 2023, and for someone who’s struggled to establish a consistent role with an MLB team, Newcomb can build off of 2023 and do that with Oakland going forward.
How Acquired?
Newcomb was acquired on August 21, 2023, from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for outfielder Trenton Brooks.
What were the expectations?
Brought up to Oakland immediately on August 23, the expectations for Newcomb were to simply add some depth and extra innings in the back end of the bullpen.
