The2013 Oakland Athletics season was the 46th for the franchise inOakland, as well as the 113th in club history. Oakland was defending their division title in the new five-teamAmerican League West during the 2013 season. On September 22, 2013, they clinched their second straightAmerican League West championship. They lost to theDetroit Tigers in five games in the2013 American League Division Series.
Following a successful 2012 season in which the team won the AL West, GMBilly Beane stated he would keep the team mostly intact, and "if moves are made, they will be additions".[1] The first acquisition occurred October 19 in a three-team trade involvingArizona andMiami; Oakland sentCliff Pennington to Arizona and minor leaguer Yordy Cabrera to Miami, and the team receivedChris Young from Arizona. In November, the team traded pitcherTyson Ross and minor leaguer A. J. Kirby-Jones toSan Diego for infielderAndy Parrino and pitcherAndrew Werner.Grant Green, Arnold Leon, Shane Peterson, andMichael Ynoa were added to the 40-man roster andAndrew Carignan,Brandon Hicks (who was traded to theMets) andJim Miller (who was claimed off waivers by theYankees and laterdesignated for assignment) were removed. The next move was to tradeCollin Cowgill to theMets forJefry Marté. Whenfree agentStephen Drew signed with theBoston Red Sox, Oakland signed Japanese shortstopHiroyuki Nakajima to a 2-year, $6.5 million deal, with an option for a third year, in order to fill the vacancy. PitcherGraham Godfrey was sent toBoston as aplayer to be named later to complete a previous trade, whileBrandon McCarthy andJonny Gomes, who both elected free agency, signed withArizona andBoston, respectively. In January, Oakland was involved in their second three-team trade of the offseason, trading pitching prospectA. J. Cole back toWashington (he was part of a trade forGio González the year before) and receiving catcherJohn Jaso fromSeattle. Upon the acquisition of Jaso,George Kottaras was designated for assignment. In February, the A's were involved in a five-player deal with new division rivalHouston, tradingChris Carter,Brad Peacock andMax Stassi in exchange for shortstopJed Lowrie and relieverFernando Rodriguez.[2]
In addition to player movement, there was also a coaching change made by the Athletics. Bullpen coachRick Rodriguez was offered a position within the organization, andDarren Bush, the manager of the Triple-A affiliateSacramento River Cats, will assume bullpen coaching responsibilities.
