Athletics' Michel Otanez: Signs minors deal with Oakland

Otanez signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Dec. 9.

Otanez was said to have inked a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks in November with an invite to spring training as part of that pact, but evidently that deal fell through. It does not appear he has been invited to Oakland's major-league camp this spring. The 26-year-old posted a 6.08 ERA and 61:28 K:BB over 37 innings between the Double- and Triple-A levels in 2023.
