This Friday afternoon brings a few more roster moves from new GM Jon Daniels. They’re mostly procedural, but still..
Pitchers Ryan Bukvich and Carlos Almanzar were both outrighted to Oklahoma after having cleared waivers. Almanzar however, decided not to accept the assignment and took his free agency. Both of them were on the 60 day DL, so it doesn’t affect the 40 man roster, which is still at 36.
Also, in a couple of minor league deals, we signed OF Ruddy Yan & P Jared Abruzzo to 1 year contracts for 2006.
Finally, the Oakland A’s rehired Ken Macha as manager, so if Orel Hershisher is going anywhere, it won’t be to Oakland.
