The Oakland A’s signed two new players this week, 3B Trevor Plouffe and RHP Santiago Casilla. Before those additions can become official, though, space must be made on the 40-man roster. That means two current players have to be removed, so, unless there is a specific follow-up trade in the works, two guys will be designated for assignment.
Here is the 40-man roster as it stands entering Friday:
| Pitchers | Hitters |
| Starters Sonny Gray (R) Sean Manaea (L) Kendall Graveman (R) Andrew Triggs (R) Jharel Cotton (R) Daniel Mengden (R) Raul Alcantara (R) Jesse Hahn (R) Dillon Overton (L) Frankie Montas (R) Chris Bassitt (R) Paul Blackburn (R) Relievers Ryan Madson (R) Sean Doolittle (L) Ryan Dull (R) Liam Hendriks (R) John Axford (R) Daniel Coulombe (L) Zach Neal (R) Bobby Wahl (R) | Catchers Stephen Vogt (L) Josh Phegley (R) Bruce Maxwell (L) Infielders Ryon Healy (R) Yonder Alonso (L) Mark Canha (R) Matt Olson (L) Renato Nunez (R) Jed Lowrie (S) Joey Wendle (L) Chad Pinder (R) Marcus Semien (R) Franklin Barreto (R) Yairo Munoz (R) Outfielders Khris Davis (R) Rajai Davis (R) Matt Joyce (L) Jake Smolinski (R) Brett Eibner (R) Jaycob Brugman (L) That’s a lot of names! |
