MESA, Ariz. — A slow free agent market seems to be working in favor of the A’s for a second consecutive season.
Nick Hundley, who spent the previous two seasons as the backup to Giants star Buster Posey, arrived at Hohokam Stadium Monday after agreeing to a minor league deal with the A’s.
Hundley, 35, put up numbers last season that appeared to be worthy of a major league deal. He hit .241 with 10 home runs and 31 RBIs over 96 games with San Francisco, yet remained available as the A’s opened up spring training in a similar situation to Jonathan Lucroy last year.
