California’s Oakland (AP) — Former coworkers in Oakland for many years, David Forst and Farhan Zaidi are now executives for two different Bay Area teams.

In exchange for right-hander Ross Stripling and $3.25 million toward his salary from the Giants, free agent left-hander Alex Wood signed a one-year contract worth $8.5 million with the A’s.

“It’s fair to say those four guys come in with a good shot and a good spot in the rotation,” said Forst, the A’s general manager.
