Taveras released by Oakland A's: Speedy outfielder Willy Taveras has been released by the Oakland Athletics, eight days after he was acquired from Cincinnati with infielder Adam Rosales for infielder Aaron Miles and a player to be named. Taveras had been designated for assignment immediately following the Feb. 1 trade. The Athletics owe his $4 million salary in the final season of a $6.25 million, two-year contract that he signed with the Reds, but that would be reduced by the $400,000 minimum if he signs with another team.

Fantasy Analysis
Taveras hit .240 with one homer and 15 RBI for Cincinnati last season. A free swinger, Taveras drew only 18 walks in 435 plate appearances. Consider him nothing more than a deeper Rotisserie flier if he winds up on a roster out of spring training.
