The Oakland A’s are more than a week into the 2021 Cactus League, and as usual there are several unfamiliar names in the box scores.
In addition to the team’s 40-man roster, there are another 24 non-roster invitees. They include a mix of young prospects getting bonus experience, as well as depth veterans battling for jobs or planting the seeds for future consideration this summer. They aren’t on the roster now, but some of them could be later this year, especially when injuries take their toll.
Presenting the 2021 spring NRIs.
