Oakland-Atlanta Deal: Peirce for Newman: BNN has learned the Oakland Athletics have reportedly worked out a deal with the Atlanta Braves. Sources close to the Athletics indicated that a trade has been reached in principle where 22-year old RHP Oscar Newman will be swapped to Oakland with 27-year old RHP Alan Peirce heading to Atlanta. Neither organization would comment on the report, saying it was club policy not to speak about a trade until it was finalized.
