The Oakland A’s designated outfielder Dustin Fowler for assignment today in order to open up a 40 man roster spot for newly signed reliever Trevor Rosenthal.
Fowler is not, incidentally, Clint Frazier, even though I tend to get the two mixed up. Frazier was the 5th overall pick in the 2013 draft, selected by the Cleveland Indians, and was sent to the New York Yankees at the trade deadline in 2016 for Andrew Miller, and is a 6’0” righthanded hitter who can play all three outfield positions but is best suited for a corner outfield spot, and whose career has been hindered by injury issues.
