Anaheim - Andrew Lambo doesn’t know if he’s in the A’s plans for next year after missing the second half while getting treatment for testicular cancer.
He wants to, immensely - because he wants to do well for a team that supported him throughout his recovery. Lambo, who visited the team at Angel Stadium on Monday, was particularly touched that Oakland put him on the big-league roster and 60-day DL on July 4, which meant that he’d receive a big-league salary for half the season.
Sure, the A’s had a practical reason for doing so; they wanted to get Patrick Schuster onto the 40-man roster.
