OAKLAND – Yeah you read that right. The A’s picked up a new starter for their rotation for four quarters. 10 dimes. 100 pennies.

Left-Hander Brad Mills has experience in the majors when he was brought up by the Angels. His big league record is 3-3 with a 7.76 ERA.  This year in Triple-A he’s 4-2 with a 1.56 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 77 strikeouts.

The $1 fee the the A’s had to give up was because in Mills’ Minor League Contract with the Brewers he had an out that if he was not in the Majors by June 15th the Brewers would be required to advertise Mills availability to the other teams in the majors. If a team was interested, the Brewers had to give him up.

Mills should be joining the starting lineup this Saturday against Boston.
