Martini is assigned to Triple-A after a disappointing season with the Colorado Rockies, batting .225/.288/.294 in 111 plate appearances. Despite recent struggles, he possesses a strong minor league record, highlighted by a .294/.399/.454 slash line. Brooks, who recently played in the Mexican League, has a 5.92 ERA but returns to the A's for his fourth stint with the team, bringing previous experience from a longstanding relationship with the organization.
Martini's recent performance has been less impressive, but he's shown the ability to succeed in the minor leagues with a solid .294/.399/.454 slash over eight seasons.
Despite a rough 2024 season, Martini had a decent stretch in his previous years, batting .264/.329/.583 in 79 plate appearances with Cincinnati.
Brooks returns to the A's after a tough start in the Mexican League, where he posted a 5.92 ERA, slightly better than the league average.
The A's sign both Martini and Brooks, assigning Martini to Triple-A and Brooks to Double-A, as they look to leverage their past experiences with the team.
