The 2015 season for the Oakland Athletics was a year of disappointment, second guessing and trades for the future. In one of those trades for the future, the A’s acquired right handed catcher Jacob Nottingham along with Daniel Mengden for left-handed ace Scott Kazmir. Both left the Houston Astros’ High-A ball team, the Lancaster Jethawks, and walked right across the field to the Stockton Ports dugout since these two teams were playing each other that night. They were able to contributed to the Ports’ playoff run down the stretch later that season as well.
