MESA, Ariz. – Here’s a roundup of Monday morning notes, as the A’s prepare for their final three days of camp in the desert …
--Oakland has 37 players left in camp, and Melvin said all of them except left-hander Sean Manaea will head north and be available for the Bay Bridge Series against the Giants. This is typical for the A’s, as they always take extra reinforcements to provide depth for that final three-game exhibition series. The regulars won’t play a full game on all three days, so there will be plenty of substituting throughout those games.
