Gaudin was released by New York on Thursday after losing out to Phil Hughes for the No. 5 slot in the team’s rotation. He is expected to take one of the spots in A’s bullpen.
Oakland assistant general manager David Forst on Sunday confirmed the deal. The move was first reported by FoxSports, citing unnamed league sources.
Terms were not disclosed.
Gaudin, who previously pitched for the A’s from 2006-07, struggled this spring after pitching well as a part-time starter with the Yankees in 2009. He was 0-3 with an 8.68 ERA in four outings when he was released.
