Athletics' Brian Schlitter: Joins Oakland

Schlitter signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training.

Schlitter appeared in six games during the 2019 campaign with Oakland, finishing with a 3.72 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with six strikeouts over 9.2 frames. He'll open spring training with the big club, though he'll likely open the 2020 season with Triple-A Las Vegas.
