Just two days after the A's outrighted Eric Sogard off the 40-man roster, the 30-year-old infielder appears to have elected to become a free agent rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Nashville.
In a tweet posted late Saturday afternoon, Sogard alluded to his time with the A's being up.
"Grateful for the years my family and I spent in Oakland. Thank you always A's fans for your loyal support of #NERDPOWER"
