The Oakland Athletics have signed Brett Anderson to a minor league deal, reports Athletics Nation.

The free agent pitcher was acquired by the Athletics in late 2007, officially starting his MLB career with Oakland in 2009. He was 21-years-old then.

Anderson, 30, was traded to the Colorado Rockies, then had a stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers after battling injuries.

The Athletics have not commented on his return, but Anderson has changed his Twitter bio to say “My grammar is terrible…and I throw baseballs for the A’s again…”
