The Diamondbacks have signed corner outfielder/first baseman who was released by the A's. The player, who turns 33 soon, spent a decade with the A's, emerging as a solid platoon bat and hitting 20 home runs in consecutive seasons. However, his performance has declined recently, culminating in a disappointing season. After being released due to the A's decision, he rebounded with an impressive Triple-A performance. Arizona has several lefty-hitting options and if the player makes the MLB roster, he will only be owed a prorated minimum salary and could be arbitration eligible next year.
Brown had spent a decade with the A's organization, emerging as a productive platoon bat early in his MLB career, reaching 20 home runs in consecutive seasons.
After a disappointing performance led to his release by the A's, Brown quickly returned to form in Triple-A, hitting seven homers in nine games.
Arizona has lefty-hitting first base/designated hitter options and is currently operating with an all righty-hitting bench; Brown’s potential addition could impact roster dynamics.
If Brown makes it to the MLB roster, the Diamondbacks would owe him a prorated portion of the $760K league minimum, with arbitration eligibility next offseason.
