DETROIT -- On Sunday, Andrew Triggs got called into the office of Triple-A Nashville Sounds manager Steve Scarsone and was told he'd broken a walkie-talkie. Triggs was confused, until Scarsone said his next sentence.
"You broke the walkie-talkie. You have to go buy a new one in Detroit."
That's how Triggs, 27, was informed he was getting his first callup to the Majors to join the A's bullpen after the club optioned lefty Eric Surkamp to Nashville.
"It's what everybody in here works for," Triggs said Monday. "I found out yesterday after our game in Nashville, so I had the afternoon and evening to get things situated and flew out this morning.
