The Oakland A’s seemingly had a perfect low cost option for the bullpen in Michael Feliz. He had major league success before, including in two of his three stops this year. He seemed like a solid fit for the A’s, as he still had time under team control and would not cost much to keep for next year.
Instead, his time with the A’s is over almost before it began. Feliz was designated for assignment after spending just a few days in Oakland, as Luis Barrera is heading back to the majors.
