The Oakland Athletics have claimed pitcher Elvis Alvarado off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. To accommodate Alvarado on the 40-man roster, the team designated Anthony Maldonado for assignment. Maldonado, who had joined the A's from the Marlins just months ago, had a rocky major league debut, posting a 5.68 ERA over 19 innings. However, his solid minor league performance with a 3.26 ERA and a significant strikeout rate had impressed the A's. Now, Maldonado aims to attract interest from other teams as he enters DFA status.
The A's have claimed Elvis Alvarado off waivers from the Pirates, designating Anthony Maldonado for assignment to make room for him on the 40-man roster.
Maldonado's time with the A's was short-lived, having only signed from the Marlins a few months prior, after debuting with a less-than-stellar ERA.
Maldonado's impressive minor league track record showcases a dominant 3.26 ERA over 188 innings, suggesting potential despite his major league struggles.
With Anthony Maldonado in DFA limbo, the A's will have a week to explore trade options or place him on waivers for interested teams.
