AL Notes: Davis, Aoki, Jones, Ondrusek, Angels, A’s

By Jeff Todd | August 26, 2016 at 11:19pm CDT

Wade Davis is making progress on his way back to the Royals, as he’s set for an inning of action at Triple-A, as MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan tweets. Kansas City has thrived without their 30-year-old closer, but that doesn’t mean his return doesn’t come with anticipation. The defending World Series champs have clawed their way back into the postseason picture — no surprise for this group — but still sits four games out of Wild Card position and need every advantage that can be found.

Here’s more from the American League:

  • The Mariners optioned outfielder Nori Aoki to Triple-A tonight as part of a series of roster moves, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times was among those to tweet. While he has struggled for much of the year, Aoki has actually been quite useful at the plate in August with a .338/.392/.426 batting line for the month. But Seattle needed fresh arms, and so took advantage of the ability to remove the veteran from the active roster for the time being. He’ll surely be back shortly with rosters expanding in a few days.
  • Orioles outfielder Adam Jones left tonight’s action with what the team is calling a hamstring strain. That could be a big problem for the O’s, who not only need Jones’s bat in the lineup but don’t have any ready replacements on their depth chart. But skipper Buck Showalter says that he doesn’t believe Jones will require a DL stint, as Dan Connolly of BaltimoreBaseball.com tweets.
  • Earlier today, the Orioles designated righty Logan Ondrusek off of their active roster. Unlike a typical DFA, the move simply puts the player on ice while he is passed through optional assignment waives. The procedural step was taken to enable the team to reinstate lefty T.J. McFarland from the DL.
  • The Angels have hired a new amateur scouting, adding former Cardinals cross-checker Matt Swanson, as ESPN.com’s Keith Law reported on Twitter. Los Angeles has continued to experience change in the upper levels of its player intake and development departments, which is no surprise given that GM Billy Eppler only took the helm last October.
  • Just like their AL West rivals, the Athletics are engaged in a complicated ballpark situation, though their’s may be trending away from their current digs at the O.Co Coliseum. The San Francisco Chronicle’s Matier & Ross recently provided a look at the latest on the search for a new site, with quiet majority owner John Fisher said to be looking closely at a spot in Oakland’s Howard Terminal that is the preferred spot of mayor Libby Schaaf.

    I hope the A’s leave O.co, went there once in a California vacation, (where we hit all the parks in the state) and it was easily the most cramped, dysfunctional, and just overall bad quality stadium.

          No team would be moved to Hawaii, the travel time alone would be a killer for both the incoming teams and the outgoing teams.

          MLB are already talking about expanding internationally. I don’t know how that would work either with the long flight times unless they are talking about Mexico.

      It was also the cheapest ticket you bought on that trip.

      They let you drink beers in the parking lot before the game and bring in your own food, no problem. One of the last places a fan can afford to go and see a lot of games. God bless the Cement Palace.

        Wait – you actually want poor people and families at your baseball games?

          That is one of the great things about A’s fans they are the most racial diverse fans in all of baseball. Go to some of the rich stadiums its like a gap store grand opening.

      You definitely went there after 1995.

      If only they can tear down that horrifying wall and return it to its former glory:

    Sale the A’s to Lacob, Guber et al, successful-eager to win-business group, new venue or else. Beane will surely be offered his job back and with the resources well the A’s will be in the win column again…

    I feel for A’s fans, terrible stadium and ownership. The San Jose dream will never be realized so if they want to remain in the Bay Area it will be in Oakland. If they do leave I think Portland would be a great place for them as they would stay in the Al West and would become more of a rival to the Mariners.

      Portland does not deserve any pro sports teams, terrible sports town, right up there with Sacramento.

      San Jose has more people than San Francisco and Oakland combined, but MLB has treated them like 2nd class city ever since the Giants got their pathetic class A team there. Brooklyn is the same way.

      A’s to SJ, Rays to Brooklyn, two absolutely no brainer moves that are not being made, to prove that MLB has no brain.

        How is it a terrible sports town? I can (maybe) see it being bad because of a lack of attractions, but I know that the Portland Trail Blazers (NBA) and Timbers (MLS) have an extremely loyal and energetic fan base.

        Also, the only reason I could see Brooklyn not working is because they would be playing third fiddle to the Yankees and Mets. I agree that the Rays need to get out of their stadium, but a move that far north (to NY) is probably not the most ideal spot. It would be hard for them to build a fan base with the Yanks and Mets already being established there. It only kind of worked for the Brooklyn Nets because they weren’t actually moving that far (Jersey to Brooklyn) that they were going to a whole new fan base.

        Dude, have you been to or seen a Portland Trailblazers or Portland Timbers game?
        Two of the strongest and most dedicated fan bases in professional sports!

        MLB and 81 home games is a whole different animal but with PDX going over 3m people, it could be a very viable location for MLB.

    A’s are staying in Oakland, as they should. As San Francisco continues to price families out, more and more are coming to Oakland. It is currently one of the hottest real estate markets in the country for both personal and business. Manfred said it would be a mistake to move the A’s out given how viable a city Oakland has become.

    Portland, rabid sports fans. Remember the Blazers attendance numbers for the old building. Ten years of max … 12,666.
