Brandon Moss News
Oakland Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss went unclaimed on waivers and was released, according to Jane Lee of MLB.com. The Athletics traded for Moss from the Royals at the end of January, but were looking to get rid of him right away. Unfortunately for Moss, the team could not find a trade partner and Moss also went unclaimed during the waiver process. Moss batted an ugly .207/.279/.428 last season and is owed $8.25 million in 2018, although the Royals are covering $3.25 million of that.
Oakland Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss was acquired by Oakland earlier Monday, but Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Athletics "will try to find a taker" for Moss. The A's acquired Moss from the Royals on Monday, but he does not look to have much of a path to playing time in Oakland, so they will look to deal him elsewhere. It figures to prove difficult, as Moss batted an ugly .207/.279/.428 last season, and there are still plenty of power bats available. He is owed $8.25 million, although the Royals are covering $3.25 million of that.
Kansas City Royals first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Moss and relief pitcher Ryan Buchter were traded to the Oakland Athletics, according to Jeffrey Flanagan on Twitter. Starting pitcher Jesse Hahn and pitching prospect Heath Fillmyer will be headed to Kansas City in this minor deal. Hahn may compete for the Royals rotation and Moss could provide left-handed power, but there is not much fantasy value from the players in this trade.
