WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Nick Kurtz was sleeping in when he got the call he was being promoted to the Athletics.
“Half asleep, so I was like a little bit of a dream,” Kurtz said Tuesday, a day after receiving news of the call-up.
A first baseman from Wake Forest, Kurtz was selected fourth overall in last year's amateur draft and signed for a $7 million bonus. The A’s are expected to select his contract to the big league roster ahead of Wednesday night’s game against Texas.
