Athletics Trade & Injury Updates | Oakland Athletics News
Description
The Athletics pulled off a late trade deadline move, sending Colby Thomas to acquire Seth Johnson—a high-velocity bullpen arm they hope can become a backend piece. Manager Mark Kotsay praised Thomas’s potential but emphasized the fit for both teams. Johnson’s strikeout ability is promising, but consistency in locating pitches remains key as he adjusts to the role. Meanwhile, Nick Allen’s capsule issue may involve a tear, prompting cautious rehab similar to Shea Langeliers’ case. At first base, McNeil, White, and Heims will share duties while the team evaluates Max Muncy’s future role. And good news: JT’s blister is healed, with no grip changes needed—Kotsay calls it a routine pitching hurdle they’ve finally overcome.
