The Oakland A’s are gearing up to host the Texas Rangers this week, but we still aren’t quite done talking about their previous meeting last week in Arlington.
The A’s left Globe Life Baseball Yard with a frustrating series split against a last-place opponent, but along the way they had an encouraging development with the appearance of a new relief pitcher. At age 27, in his ninth professional season, Domingo Acevedo made his MLB debut.
The right-hander was once a fireballing top prospect in the Yankees system, but his stock dropped over the past few years until New York cut him last winter.
