Octavio Dotel on A’s Edwin Jackson tying his record: “I want to be by myself!”

DETROIT - Former A’s reliever Octavio Dotel is simultaneously disappointed and pleased that Edwin Jackson tied his major-league record for most teams when Oakland called Jackson up to start against the Tigers on Monday

“I want to be by myself in that department!” Dotel said by phone from the Dominican Republic. “I was happy I got that record, it always made me feel good.

“Now, Edwin Jackson will know what it’s like. And it looks like he’ll break it. I was 38 when I signed with Detroit - he’s got a lot of room to go ahead of me.
