Josh Reddick Gives His Jersey Number to Billy Butler
Welcome to Oakland.
When the A's signed Billy Butler to a three-year, $30 million deal, they quickly ran into a minor issue: Butler and current A's star Josh Reddick both wear number 16. Luckily, Reddick was quick to find a generous solution for his new teammate.
Hey @BillyButlerKC, welcome to Oakland country breakfast! What are we going to do about this #16 thing?
