PEORIA, Ariz. -- Brandon Moss' second tour with the A's abruptly ended Sunday.
The veteran slugger was designated for assignment to make room for a waiver claim: left-hander Jairo Labourt.
Moss was acquired from Kansas City along with lefty Ryan Buchter in January, with the A's taking on $5 million of the remaining salary owed on his $8.25 million contract, largely to facilitate the deal for Buchter.
For Labourt, this is his third team in as many days, having been claimed off waivers by the Reds from Detroit on Friday.
