Happy Tuesday, Athletics Nation!
Spring Training is officially over, and the next time the A’s take the field will be in front of the home crowd on Opening Night. And with the new season just days away, roster decisions and cuts have been made. We finally got clarity on that front yesterday evening.
First, the big news. Center fielder Cristian Pache did not make the roster. Instead, both Brent Rooker and Conner Capel will be on the Opening Day squad. It’s the end of a stunning fall from grace for Pache, who was one of the main pieces in the Matt Olson trade along with Shea Langeliers.
