Currently starring for Hermasillo of the Mexican Winter League, Erubiel Durazo on Tuesday told a Mexican radio station -- after hitting three home runs in a game -- that he was rejoining the A's.
Asked to confirm Durazo's announcement, Oakland assistant GM David Forst, responding to a voicemail from MLB.com while traveling late Wednesday, promptly did so with a brief text message.
"On a plane," Forst wrote. "Minor League deal for Ruby. Invite to camp."
