MESA, Ariz. — It’s been a busy week for new A’s catcher Jonathan Lucroy.
The A’s officially announced the signing of the two-time All-Star to a one-year deal Monday, designating left-handed pitcher Jairo Labourt for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster, but that wasn’t even the most momentous thing that’s happened in Lucroy’s life over the past few days.
Lucroy’s wife, Sarah, gave birth to their second child, Easton, on Friday morning just before reports surfaced later that evening saying the A’s had agreed to a contract with the catcher.
“We’ve had a little bit going on to say the least,” Lucroy said.
