Oakland Athletics Roundup: Opening Day 2016 Roster Finalized

Monday is the greatest day of the year: the first real game of the Oakland Athletics’ season. Major League Baseball got things underway with a trio of games on Sunday, but the Oakland Athletics will kick things off at 7:05 PST, when Sonny Gray takes the mound against White Sox ace Chris Sale.

For those who missed it over the weekend, the Athletics’ final Opening Day roster includes five starters, seven relievers, and 13 position players. Right-handers Chris Bassitt and Kendall Graveman, along with lefties Rich Hill and Felix Doubront, fill out the rotation behind Gray.
