Scott Alexander, who spent two seasons with the San Francisco Giants, is added to Oakland A’s roster
Oakland A’s pitcher Scott Alexander #54 delivers a pitch during the spring training game between the Oakland A’s and Los Angeles Angels Tempe Diablo Stadium on March 6, 2024 in Tempe, Arizona. OAKLAND – Veteran left-hander Scott Alexander wasn’t sure what to expect this past offseason when he became an unrestricted free agent after two seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
“I kind of knew that I was going to sign probably later in February, just based off the left-handed relief market, I guess,” said Alexander, who was expecting his parents to attend Tuesday’s game against the Rockies at the Coliseum. “Now just happy to be with Oakland, happy that I got to stay in the Bay Area.”
Alexander was sent to Single-A Stockton on a rehab assignment on May 3. He pitched in two games with the Ports and four with Triple-A Las Vegas and compiled a 9.64 ERA in six outings, with eight strikeouts and one walk in 4.2 innings “I think the bullpen is definitely one of the strengths of the team,” Alexander said. “You look at Mason and what he’s been able to do. He might be having the best season any reliever ever has. Obviously, Lucas and some of the other guys have really performed really, really well.
Kotsay said the team is still open to stretching out right-hander Brandon Bielak into a starter. Bielak threw 42 pitches over 2 2/3 innings in his first outing for the A’s last Friday. Spence threw 75 pitches last week and could be asked to do more on Wednesday.
