OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Two days after being designated for assignment by the Athletics, outfielder Dustin Fowler was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash. He had been part of the club’s 60-player pool last season but stayed at the alternate site and didn’t play. Fowler had been considered a possible center fielder of the future for the A’s when Oakland acquired him from the Yankees at the 2017 trade deadline in a deal that sent right-hander Sonny Gray to New York.
