Tuesday brought the deadline for teams to protect eligible prospects from the upcoming Rule 5 draft, which will be held in December. In response, the Oakland A’s announced the addition of four prospects to their 40-man roster: RHP Grant Holmes, RHP James Kaprielian, OF Luis Barrera, and OF Skye Bolt. In addition, they also acquired RHP Tanner Anderson from the Pirates for a player to be named later or cash. There was plenty of open space on the roster, so no corresponding moves were needed.
More coming shortly on each player.
