The Athletics announced a few subtractions from the team on Friday afternoon, the second day of the offseason:
Infielder Ryan Noda has been claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Angels. Right-handed pitcher Royber Salinas has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves.
Additionally, left-handed pitcher Kyle Muller and infielder Tyler Nevin have cleared waivers and been outrighted…— Oakland A's Communications (@AthleticsPR) November 1, 2024The big news from that announcement is the loss of first baseman Ryan Noda to the division-rival Angels. The former Rule 5 pick made it through his rookie season with the club in 2023 and looked decent enough to earn regular playing time at first base, save for the tough left-hander on the mound as Noda looked solid against right-handed pitching but predictably struggled against same-handed pitchers.
