The Oakland Athletics will get an opportunity to introduce one of their prize acquisitions, Shea Langeliers, to the home fans when they open a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.

As part of a roster remodeling that saw them part with, among others, Matt Chapman, Mark Canha, Starling Marte, Josh Harrison, Frankie Montas, Sean Manaea and Chris Bassitt since the end of last season, the A's sent Matt Olson to the Atlanta Braves in March for four prospects, including Langeliers, who had been considered one of Atlanta's top prospects.

The 24-year-old, mostly a catcher in the minor leagues, made his major league debut this week in Texas as the A's were taking two of three from the Rangers.
