The Oakland A’s took their time getting started with their offseason, but they suddenly kicked into gear in the week before Christmas. After nearly two months of patience, with the Athletics Nation community growing more restless by the day, the team made three big moves to fill crucial roster holes with excellent targets.
Here are the recent transactions:
- Signed RP Joakim Soria for 2yr/$15M. He effectively replaces setup man Jeurys Familia, who left as a free agent and signed with the Mets for twice as much money. Soria is better, though.
- Acquired IF Jurickson Profar from Rangers.
