The Oakland A's have a new player in town on Wednesday, as Matt McBride is up for what is likely just a cup of coffee. McBride has been playing for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds this season. He is most likely here to serve as a third catcher, especially with Josh Phegley a bit banged up already.
As it happens, Athletics Nation went a bit over the top in our coverage of McBride last winter when the A's signed him to a minor league deal. After December the offseason got reeeeeally slow, and we were fiending for our fix of sweet, sweet transaction news.
