Brandon Moss is realistic about his chances about being with the A’s for Opening Day.
Moss is 34 and coming to an A’s team that would seem to already have an everyday first baseman in Matt Olson and a regular designated hitter in Khris Davis, who signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal on Jan. 10 to avoid arbitration. It would also seem prospect Renato Nuu0144ez would also be in position to see time at both first base and DH.
Monday, Moss and left-hander Ryan Buchter were acquired by the A’s from the Kansas City Royals for right-handed pitchers Jesse Hahn and Heath Fillmyer.
