This move adds more depth for the starting rotation.
The Oakland A’s acquired pitcher Wilmer Font from the Dodgers on Wednesday, the team announced. In return, the A’s sent away minor league pitcher Logan Salow.
Font, who turns 28 next month, has bounced around several organizations (and even an independent league) over the last decade since signing out of Venezuela. He finally had a breakout last summer as a starter in Triple-A, but then washed out of Los Angeles quickly this year.
