Baltimore designated Nevin, Ryan McKenna and for assignment in the lead-up to Opening Day, and McKenna and Maton have both cleared waivers and have been outrighted to the Orioles' Triple-A club.
Nevin has a modest .203/.310/.301 slash line over 313 plate appearances in the majors, as his ability to handle both corner infield and corner outfield positions has been more valuable than his bat in garnering more time on big-league rosters.
Nevin will now head to a new organization after spending the last few seasons with the Orioles and Tigers.
Lawrence Butler, and are all left-handed regulars in the Athletics lineup, so Nevin might fit as a right-handed hitting complement at first base or as a corner outfielder.
