Spring training camp is always packed with players, and the Oakland A’s are no exception in 2021.
It begins with the 40-man roster, of which only two-thirds will make the Opening Day major league squad and the rest will go back to the minors. But on top of those players, there are also 24 non-roster invitees, between less advanced prospects getting bonus experience as well as depth veterans battling for jobs or planting the seeds for future consideration this summer.
You probably already know some or most of the names on the actual roster. That’s the stars like Matt Chapman and Jesús Luzardo; the other major leaguers, like Tony Kemp and Lou Trivino; the new additions, like Elvis Andrus and Trevor Rosenthal; and a few other top prospects like Daulton Jefferies and Luis Barrera.
