The MLB offseason is officially nearly two weeks old, but nothing much has happened yet. That’s normal for baseball, whose offseason tends to get off to a slow start, in exactly the opposite fashion as the NBA and its all-in-one-day free agent spree.
However, the A’s have made some minor roster moves already. We already covered one of them, when the team claimed reliever T.J. McFarland off waivers from Arizona. But even before that, back on November 1, they made a few other in-house moves that are worth taking a moment to look back at.
On that day, the A’s added catching prospect Jonah Heim to the 40-man roster, and they reinstated pitcher Daniel Gossett and outfield prospect Luis Barrera from the 60-day injured list.
