TEMPE, Ariz. — The A’s have several pitchers competing for a spot in their starting rotation.
Marco Estrada is not one of those pitchers.
Signed to a one-year deal this offseason, Estrada is a former All-Star who brings 11 years of big league experience. His spot is secure in this rotation. He doesn’t have to impress anyone this spring. His first outing in Sunday’s 4-1 loss to the Angels was more about correcting some flaws.
Estrada, 35, throws a changeup that is considered one of the best in baseball.
