"A's Cut ties with Angel Felipe"
The Athletics have designated Angel Felipe for assignment to make room for J.D. Davis on the 40-man roster after finalizing a one-year contract with him. Felipe, who recently underwent Tommy John surgery, will miss the entire 2024 season. Despite showing potential, his control issues have been a recurring problem, and his injury status and lack of prospect pedigree may lead to him passing through release waivers unclaimed. This move allows the team to avoid paying Felipe a major league salary and potentially saves money, which may have factored into their decision.
