The Oakland A’s entered Sunday with four more cuts to make before the end of spring training, and they took care of two of them after the afternoon’s game.
The A’s optioned infielder Vimael Machin and outfielder Seth Brown to Triple-A, the team announced.
Neither of these moves come as surprises given the last couple days of news. Veteran Jed Lowrie made the roster, leaving no room for Machin to begin the year in Oakland. And outfielder Ka’ai Tom, who can’t be sent down to the minors as a Rule 5 draft pick, had a great spring that was easily enough to earn a look in the majors in April.
