Trayce Thompson will be playing right next door to big brother Klay after the A’s claimed the outfielder Thursday.
Thompson, 27, will join Oakland in Anaheim on Friday, according to manager Bob Melvin, who is a major Warriors fan and friendly with Golden State star Klay.
“I think it’s pretty cool,” Melvin said. “I talked to (Trayce) a little bit and he’s really excited. He’s actually in L.A. right now at his parents’ house, so it’ll work out well. ... I think everyone is pretty excited about that, not just us on the team, but the fan base might like that one as well.
