Our Season In Review series continues today with a player that made just five appearances for the club, but was funnily enough on his third separate stint with the Athletics. That player is none other than journeyman starter Aaron Brooks. If you’ll remember, we first met Brooks as part of the return package for Ben Zobrist, along with left-handed starter Sean Manaea, and that trade was ten years ago. Crazy how time flies.
How was he acquired?
The club brought back the 34-year-old Brooks on a minor league deal in early February of this year.
