The Oakland A’s will hold their alternate training site camp in Stockton this summer, and there will be one major difference from how it operated last year — they’ll get to play games against another team.
The A’s announced their alt-site roster on Sunday, which includes 26 players, or 27 pending the completion of a current DFA. In addition, there’s a tentative schedule of 16 scrimmages against the San Francisco Giants alt-site players.
With the minor league season not starting until May, the 2021 alt-sites provide somewhere for MLB reserve players to stay warm and continue getting practice reps.
