[SB Nation: Athletics Nation] - Elephant Rumblings: Holman Claimed By Diamondbacks. Morning everyone and happy President’s Day! Yesterday afternoon we got word that right-handed reliever Grant Holman was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks, ending his time in the A’s system and thinning out the bullpen: That’s lame. The A’s were clearly trying to sneak him though waivers and hoping he would go unclaimed. That […]

Reid Detmers (P - LAA)

Angels’ Reid Detmers brings lessons from bullpen in return to the rotation. Detmers, 26, was inconsistent as a starter, so the Angels moved him to the bullpen in 2025. He had a more aggressive mindset as a reliever, leading to more success. Now he's getting a chance at starting again.

Konnor Griffin (OF/SS - PIT)

Prospect News: They Tell Me You’re A Switch Hitter.
Interesting couple weeks in the Acuña family chat. Ronald got to dance the halftime away with Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, which probably made him feel young again a few days before Pirates SS Konnor Griffin probably made him feel old by saying he grew up watching him. On the other end of the professional development spectrum, Luisangel’s new boss very publicly thinks he’s somebody he’s not. White Sox Senior Vice President and General Manager Chris Getz couldn’t stop referring to the younger brother as a switch-hitter when discussing the Luis Robert trade during media hits. Rumors suggest he thought he was trading for Ronny Maurcio and got crossed up in the process. Gotta be just rumors, right? That’s way too big a mistake to make with that job title. Although, alternatively, that’s exactly the kind of job title you might have if you find yourself getting away with such a mistake. And Mauricio would make a lot more sense to me as a trade target for a team in Chicago’s spot. Hard to see how Getz could’ve handled the whole Luis Robert Jr. saga any worse. Source:
