Athletics Designate Brian Fuentes For Assignment

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 3, 2012 at 3:59pm CDT

The Athletics announced that they designated left-hander Brian Fuentes for assignment. The team reinstated right-hander Bartolo Colon from the disabled list in a related move.

Fuentes, 36, is in the second year of a two-year, $10.5MM contract he signed following the 2010 season. He'll earn $5MM this year and his contract includes a $6.5MM club option for 2013 ($500K buyout). In 25 innings for the Athletics this year he posted a 6.84 ERA with 6.5 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9. A trade involving Fuentes could still occur within the next ten days.

    I know he had an awful June, but I’m sure someone would be willing to trade a fringe prospect for Fuentes, and use him as a LOOGY.

      The A’s tried to trade him but nobody made a offer even if the A’s would eat part of his contract.

         LOL. They already have Miller and Hill back soon, so think Sox fans are safe. Now orioles fans maybe have to be careful.. He fits Dan Duguette’s rehab/project profile to a T and The Duke just released Willis at AAA.. He may want to sign him as a long term project, but not even The Duke think sees any immediate help from this guy.

    I can think of a few Dodgers that should get released today. Adam Kennedy, Juan Uribe to start.

    Thanks for helping get Bob Geren fired, Brian.

    When Melvin wasn’t putting Fuentes into games with 4-5 run leads, you know this was going to happen (and it needed to)

    Finally, at least Merced isn’t far from Oakland, but it will still be a long drive home..

    Thank goodness it’s about time. He’s been a big gas can recently for us. Fuentes has some success in the National League in the past so he probably might be worth a flier in contending NL teams, and be used as a LOOGY/middle relief at best.
