The Oakland Athletics continue to fill out their big league roster, and are doing so by bringing back a few former A’s. On Wednesday, they agreed to a major league deal with utility infielder Adam Rosales on a one-year contract worth $1.25 million. To get him on the 40-man roster, the A’s designated left-handed pitcher Dillon Overton for assignment.
Rosales has bounced around the league quite a bit during his nine-year big league career. He debuted in 2008 with the Cincinnati Reds and played two seasons there before being traded, along with outfielder Willy Taveras, to the A’s during the 2009-2010 offseason.
