Kirby Snead - Makes Opening Day rosterSnead will open the season as one of three left-handers in the Athletics' bullpen, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.ImpactSnead just arrived in Oakland on March 16 as part of the trade that sent Matt Chapman to the Blue Jays, and he put together a solid spring that included a 1-0 record and 3.60 ERA across five innings in six appearances. The 27-year-old also made an impression during his first taste of the big leagues last season in Toronto, recording a 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in seven outings. He'll likely see plenty of matchup-based work to start the season in a fluid role behind closer Lou Trivino.
