The A’s bullpen is getting even stronger at the trade deadline.
Oakland acquired left-handed reliever Jake Diekman from the Kansas City Royals Saturday in exchange for minor leaguers Ismael Aquino, a pitcher, and Dairon Blanco, an outfielder.
Diekman has a 4.75 earned-run average in 41.2 innings of relief work for the Royals this season.
