The Oakland Athletics are showing interest in Kansas City Royals pitcher Kris Bubic as they seek to strengthen their starting rotation. Bubic, a left-hander, is a pending free agent and could be a valuable addition given the recent injuries to Luis Severino and Aaron Civale. The A's, currently sitting in third place in the AL West, recently snapped a losing streak with a win, indicating they are actively exploring upgrades.
