Athletics Acquire Justin Marks By Steve Adams [June 6, 2014 at 1:41pm CDT] The Athletics announced (on Twitter) that they’ve acquired lefty Justin Marks from the Royals in exchange for cash considerations and optioned him to AAA Sacramento. As the Bay Area News Group’s John Hickey tweets, Oakland’s 40-man roster is full, meaning they’ll have to make a move to accommodate Marks. For Marks, this is a return to the organization that selected him out of Louisville in the third round of the 2009 draft. Oakland shipped him to Kansas City along with Vin Mazzaro (who accepted an outright with the Pirates earlier today) in exchange for David DeJesus back in 2009. Marks was designated for assignment earlier this week to clear a 40-man spot for right-hander Wilking Rodriguez. He was solid in his time at Class-A Advanced and Double-A in the minors, but he’s struggled to a 5.23 ERA in 161 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. Marks averaged 8.6 strikeouts and 3.7 walks per nine innings in his minor league career and held opposing lefties to a .568 OPS in 2013. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/06/athletics-acquire-justin-marks.html Athletics Designate Kent Matthes For Assignment By Steve Adams [June 6, 2014 at 3:10pm CDT] The Athletics have designated outfielder Kent Matthes for assignment, according to the team’s transactions page. Matthes’ DFA creates room on the 40-man roster for the recently acquired Justin Marks. Matthes, 27, was claimed off waivers from the Rockies back in March. Injuries have slowed three seasons of an otherwise promising career prior to 2014. Matthes was a frequent member of Baseball America’s Top 30 prospect rankings and has a career .269/.326/.490 batting line in the minors. However, he’s struggled to a .217/.275/.370 triple-slash through his first 200 plate appearances between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Sacramento. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/06/athletics-designate-kent-matthes-for-assi gnment.html Matthes去年在洛磯小聯盟打了20發全壘打 來到OAK系統後打的不怎麼順利 DFA清位子給Marks Justin Marks 左手牛 今年控球有稍微改善 K/9不錯 不過被安打率過高 --
