To open a roster spot for Nathan Eovaldi, right-hander Roansy Contreras was designated for assignment.

Free agency is regularly dominated by teams like the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers also can be key players, and teams like the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners would not be surprises if they get involved in bidding for key players.

Athletics general manager David Forst refuted a report that the team was one of the "most aggressive" suitors for free-agent pitcher Max Fried.

The Athletics reportedly were one of the "most aggressive" teams pursuing free-agent pitcher Max Fried before he agreed to a reported contract with the New York Yankees.

With the Athletics adding right-handed pitcher Luis Severino to the mix, the A's starting rotation is looking a lot better already, with plenty of offseason left for further improvements. As things stand right now, we know that Severino will be starting on Opening Day, but who will be slotted in behind him? Let's take a look at the projected starting five. After signing with the A's on a three-year, $67 million deal that includes an opt-out after two years, Severino will be the official ace of the staff heading into 2025.

Former Oakland A's Dave Parker and Dick Allen were elected to baseball's Hall of Fame on Sunday by the classic era committee. Parker, who played two years for the A's in the 1980s, received 14 of 16 votes and Allen got 13.

Ken Boyer, John Donaldson, Steve Garvey, Vic Harris and Luis Tiant each received less than five votes.

The 30-year-old Severino was formally introduced by his new club after finalizing a three-year, $67 million contract.

That was one the factors that led to its deal with Luis Severino. The 30-year-old Severino was formally introduced by his new club on Friday after finalizing a $67 million, three-year contract. The veteran right-hander was a free agent for the second straight offseason after going 11-7 with

The righty has spent most of his career with the (formerly) Oakland Athletics, having pitched for them over five-and-a-half seasons. Montas also enjoyed his best season as a pro with the A's; in 2021, he finished sixth in AL Cy Young voting after pitching 187 innings with a 13-9 record, 3.37 ERA, 3.37 FIP, and 207 strikeouts against just 57 walks. Notably, Montas was in the same rotation as left-hander Sean Manaea from 2017 to 2021; Manaea himself was traded away from Oakland in 2022, and went on to pitch for the Mets in 2024.

Growing up a Minnesota Twins fan I couldn't get enough baseball whether it was catching a game on the radio, TV, or in person at the Metrodome during my time in high school, I couldn't get enough baseball in my life. While I might not be as big of a fan as I had been, I still follow the game and a sentence in a recent ESPN article caught my attention. The article referenced a Minnesota-based company playing a small part in MLB's move to Las Vegas. The article in question discussed how the A's are closer to calling Las Vegas home, as the team wrapped up playing in the Oakland Coliseum this past season.

Oakland A's fans clamored for their team's ownership to invest significant money — real money — into the on-field product for years. On Thursday afternoon, the franchise, at long last, did just that. Right-hander Luis Severino has reportedly agreed on a three-year, $67 million contract to join the A's, eclipsing the six-year, $66 million contract that Eric Chavez signed in 2004 as the largest deal in franchise history. Since Severino rejected a qualifying offer from the Mets, the A's will give up their third-highest pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.

The Athletics' move to southern Nevada is expected to take a major step forward Thursday when the 30-year lease, non-relocation and development documents are likely to be approved by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority following a rise in the estimated cost of the ballpark by $250 million to $1.75 billion. Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, has maintained for several months those items would be approved and didn't change his view this week.

Darell Hernaiz made the Oakland Athletics 26-man roster out of camp in 2024, and he made his MLB debut on Opening Day, pinch-hitting for first baseman Ryan Noda, then taking over at third base. J.D. Davis moved from third to first. The former Baltimore Orioles prospect was in the big leagues. Hernaiz came to Oakland from Baltimore in exchange for Cole Irvin in a straight-up swap.

Former San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi reportedly is in discussions with the Los Angeles Dodgers about a return to the organization.
