The Oakland Athletics sign reliever Justin Hampson
The A’s have signed 29-year old lefty reliever Justin Hampson to a minor league deal. Hampson pitched in 35 games (0 starts) for the Padres last season and he was 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. He has now pitched in 79 games (1 start) in his major league career and he is 5-4 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. This was a good move for the A’s as Hampson will likely help tham at some point this season.
