The Oakland A’s have signed pitcher Matt Harvey to a minor league contract, reports insider Jon Heyman on Wednesday. He’ll report to Triple-A Las Vegas, adds Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle.
The 30-year-old Harvey signed with the Angels last winter, on a one-year deal worth $11 million. However, he was lit up in 12 starts for the Halos, and was released in late July.

The right-hander made only three quality starts out of those 12 appearances, including one against the A’s in March, and he had four games in which he allowed more runs than innings pitched.
