## Resource

The Athletics have bolstered their infield by acquiring infielder Alika Williams from the Pirates, who is known for his defensive skills and recent hitting success in Triple-A. Williams will fill in for the injured Jacob Wilson at shortstop. In a separate move, the team traded outfielder Junior Perez to the White Sox for left-handed pitcher Jackson Nove, who has been excelling in Single-A. These deals demonstrate the teams commitment to improving depth and filling needs, even if they arent high-profile transactions.
