Athletics Post Farewell to Ricky Rodriguez, Implying Roster Departure
The Athletics' official account posted a goodbye to Ricky Rodriguez, strongly implying a roster departure — no transaction details announced.
The Athletics posted a farewell message to Ricky Rodriguez on their official account — "Thank you for everything, Ricky Rod 💚" — the kind of send-off that strongly implies a roster departure, whether by trade, release, or designation for assignment. The club did not specify the nature of the move.
What we don't know yet
No transaction details have been announced. The form of the departure — trade, release, or DFA — remains unspecified, and no destination has been reported.
The timing lands as the Athletics continue to shuffle their roster. The club announced separate roster moves the day prior, per their official account, and recently claimed RHP Chris Roycroft off waivers from Tampa Bay. Whether Rodriguez's departure is connected to any of those moves is not established by the available material.
For now, the green heart says goodbye. The paperwork, whenever it surfaces, will fill in the rest.
