LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The A's got their guy just in time, landing outfielder Stephen Piscotty from St. Louis in a deal that was made official minutes before their scheduled departure home from the Winter Meetings.
In acquiring Piscotty, a deal that saw them give up Minor League infielders Yairo Munoz and Max Schrock, the A's crossed off the biggest item on their to-do list this offseason.
Piscotty, who fills the A's need for a right-handed-hitting outfielder, had been on their radar for months. That the A's were able to seal the deal this week leaves them in good shape as the calendar year comes to a close.
