The A’s have signed 27-year old righty reliever Kyle Newby to a minor league deal. Newby pitched in 43 games (0 starts) in AA+AAA-ball last year for the Orioles and he was 5-4 with 20 saves, a 2.40 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. He has now pitched in 261 games (29 starts) in his first eight years in the minors and he is 33-19 with 56 saves, a 3.21 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The A’s will give Newby a shot to win a spot in the bullpen next spring.
