Great move. Triggs can be fantastic MiL depth. Kudos to Oakland

He would definitely have first crack at the bullpen, him and Ryan Dull are first and second in line to oust one or two of Graveman, Rodriguez or Doubront. He’s 27 so he’s probably more ready than his minor league climb might suggest. It’s Oakland, so it would be kind of shocking if this guy didn’t come up immediately and dominate, getting this kind of guy is Beane’s specialty move.

If Graveman doesn’t make the rotation out of ST, he’ll be in AAA I’m sure. Triggs has barely pitched in AAA and has options. Rodriguez is out of options and pitching extremely well so far this spring. Doubront is also out of options and would be the perfect stop gap for Alvarez if Graveman starts the year in AAA. Best case scenario for Triggs is he starts the year in Nashville and gets called up in a couple months. Cannot see him making the bullpen out of ST without injuries.

His double A numbers are a little misleading as he was way older than most of the competition. He does have an electric fastball though and is about as close to major league ready your gonna find on the waiver wire this time of year. I had hope the Os would get him on a minor league deal. They had other options to release to make room for Alvarez but it appears they know something we fans don’t.
