Show Notes
The Oakland Athletics have trimmed their spring roster, sending third baseman Brett Harris, top pitching prospect Jamie Arnold, and reliever Brady Basso to minor league teams. This leaves Matt Krook as the only southpaw in camp, who seems unlikely to make the Opening Day roster. The bullpen currently has only Hogan Harris as its left-handed option, raising concerns about matchup flexibility. On the right-hand side, Mark Leiter Junior stands out against lefty bats, while others show mixed reverse splits. With two weeks until Opening Day, the front office may acquire another lefty or rely on the current right-handers to step up.
