The Oakland Athletics obtained right-handed minor league reliever Aaron Kurcz from the Atlanta Braves for international slot number 113, which corresponds to the right to spend $167,000 on international signings during the 2015-16 signing period without incurring penalties. Kurcz, turning 25 in August, is not on the 40-man roster. This is the second time the A's have traded an international bonus slot for a Braves reliever in a week, having acquired Cody Martin from the Braves for slot 53 on July 2.
