The Oakland Athletics on Monday claimed infielder Steven Tolleson off waivers from the Twins. The Twins tried to get Tolleson through waivers to clear space on their 40-man roster to add desiginated hitter Jim Thome, who could officially sign as soon as Tuesday.
Hitting .270 with 6 homers as a 26 year old in AAA, while simultaneously moving more to the outfield from the infield made Tolleson expendable.
