The MLB offseason has barely started, but the Oakland A’s already made their first player addition last week.
The A’s signed reliever Dany Jimenez to a minor league contract, reported insider Martin Gallegos on Thursday.
This is the second time Jimenez has joined the organization. Last winter the A’s selected him as a Rule 5 draft pick, taking him from the Toronto Blue Jays, but he was returned to the Jays midway through spring training.
While he was here during the spring, the right-hander pitched three Cactus League games for Oakland, tossing three innings with three strikeouts, two walks, and a homer.
