KANSAS CITY -- With Triple-A Nashville's season coming to a halt Sunday evening, the A's added two more prospects to their Major League roster ahead of Monday's series opener in Kansas City, bringing aboard corner infielders Renato Nunez and Matt Olson.
Like several other young players already residing on the A's roster, including Ryon Healy and Bruce Maxwell, 22-year-olds Olson and Nunez -- both homegrown players -- are considered significant pieces of the A's future.
"These are two of our better prospects," A's manager Bob Melvin said,who anticipated them to arrive from Nashville before game time Monday.
