Several weeks before his wedding, A’s starter Jharel Cotton and his fiancee went on a trip to the Caribbean, but it was not a luxury pre-honeymoon cruise. Cotton returned to his childhood home, the Virgin Islands, to assist with disaster-relief efforts in the wake of Hurricanes Maria and Irma.
Cotton and Emma Supanich traveled to St. Thomas on Oct. 10, and spent their time on the island helping to distribute food through My Brother’s Workshop, a charitable organization that provided disaster relief in the wake of Hurricanes Maria and Irma.
“It was crazy driving around,” Cotton said by phone from his offseason home in Michigan.
