You might remember Kirby Snead from his time with Oakland between 2022-23. He was part of the return in the Matt Chapman trade.
He’s 30 now and out of affiliated ball — almost ended up pitching in Mexico this year before that deal fell through.
Instead, he’s in the Atlantic League, striking out a ton of hitters and trying to show he still belongs. He talked about how tough the past year has been and how he’s retooled his pitch mix.
New article here for anyone interested in what happens after the DFA.

I hearby submit my resignation from my position of fan of the A’s. Fuck your John fisher. Way to give away your fucking closer
I don’t know him personally, but I hated Snead. It seemed like every time they put him in, it was to wave the white flag and give up the lead. And he played *a lot.* Plus I kind of remember him being an anti-vaxxer.
Long shot
