April 1, 200620 yr Notes: A's get Dominguez from Texas Oakland ships Bynum, Rheinecker to Texas for righty By Tony Kuttner / Special to MLB.com OAKLAND -- The A's on Friday picked up a relatively young arm they've been coveting, giving up a promising hitter for whom they had no room. In a three-team deal, Oakland acquired right-hander Juan Dominguez from the Rangers in exchange for infielder-outfielder Freddie Bynum and left-hander John Rheinecker, and Texas immediately shipped Bynum to Chicago in exchange for left-hander John Koronka and a player to be named later. "We've been trying to move Freddie most of the spring," assistant general manager David Forst said, noting that Bynum was out of options and there was no room for him to crack the Oakland lineup, "but he certainly played himself onto somebody's club."
April 2, 200620 yr Author I tend to agree Sham...really love his versatility. I feel like he would have been a huge upgrade over Almezega. Not sure who the A's would have wanted however, as Dominguez seems to be a fairly solid prospect. Oh well...perhaps Andino can fill this role down the road. :confused
April 2, 200620 yr The FO might not be too high on Amezega either as I read earlier today that w/ Philly's acquisition of Dellucci, Tomas Perez is being released w/ the Marlins having renewed interest.

Let's hope so...I see Perez as a slight upgrade. At least he is a lefty bat and might be a good influence on Cabs. :plain
