The Oakland Athletics wasted no time replacing injured slugger Matt Olson.
Wednesday night, on the eve of Opening Day, the A's acquired veteran slugger Kendrys Morales from the Toronto Blue Jays, the teams announced. Minor league infielder Jesus Lopez and international bonus pool money are going to Toronto in the deal. The A's will also receive cash to offset Morales' $12 million salary.
Nothing like an Opening Day Eve move!
