2025 MLB free-agent rankings, team fits: Where does Roki Sasaki slot in?
With free agency underway, here's a look at the top players on the open market and what teams they might sign with.5 DAYS AGO
Mason Miller - Remaining in bullpen Athletics general manager David Forst said this week of Miller that the team is "not talking about moving him back into a starting role," John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle r...
Impact When the Athletics announced last offseason that Miller would be used as a reliever during the 2024 season, they didn't rule out the pitcher eventually returning to a starting pitching role. However, it appears that ship has now sailed and Miller will be a member of the bullpen moving forward. Miller was one of the best closers in baseball this season, posting a 2.49 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 104:21 K:BB over 65 innings. Given his past health issues, it's not a surprise that the team has opted to leave Miller where he's proven he can stay heathy and effective.

Left-hander T.J. McFarland remains with Athletics, agrees to $1.8 million, 1-year contract
Left-hander TNOVEMBER 7 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
T.J. McFarland - Back with A's McFarland signed a one-year contract with the Athletics on Thursday.
Impact McFarland put up a 3.81 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 56.2 innings last year and tallied 19 holds while pitching in high-leverage situations fairly often. He's likely to retain a similar role in his second year with the A's, though opportunities for saves will be limited as long as Mason Miller is still on the team.

Anthony Maldonado - Claimed off waivers by Athletics The Athletics claimed Maldonado off waivers from the Marlins on Monday.
Impact Maldonado struggled during his time in the majors with the Marlins in 2024, posting a 5.68 ERA and 11:7 K:BB over 19 innings. However, he boasts a 32.6 percent strikeout rate in the minors and is under team control for multiple seasons, so it could be a shrewd waiver claim by the Athletics.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Sterner - Claimed by Athletics The Athletics claimed Sterner off waivers from the Rays on Monday.
Impact Sterner, 28, got a cup of coffee with the Rays this season, allowing two runs (one earned) with a 4:1 K:BB over four frames. He collected a 3.28 ERA and 60:17 K:BB across 46.2 innings in 2024 at Triple-A Durham. Sterner will compete for a role in the Athletics' bullpen in 2025.

Tyler Nevin - Removed from 40-man roster The Athletics outrighted Nevin to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's not the first time Nevin has been outrighted, so he can elect free agency if he wants. The 27-year-old is a career .204/.299/.315 hitter over parts of four major-league seasons.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Muller - Outrighted to Triple-A The Athletics outrighted Muller to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Because he's been outrighted before, Muller has the option to elect free agency. The left-hander made all 21 appearances for the A's in 2024 in relief, posting a 4.01 ERA and 36:10 K:BB across 49.1 frames.

Armando Alvarez - Dropped from 40-man Alvarez cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Impact The 30-year-old Alvarez posted a .967 OPS in Triple-A across 317 plate appearances in 2024 and reached the majors for the first time, going 9-for-37 with two RBI over 16 games. However, he no longer owns a spot on the Athletics' 40-man roster and will remain in Las Vegas as organizational depth.

Austin Adams - Outrighted to Triple-A Adams (forearm) cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Impact Adams turned in a 3.92 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 41.1 innings in 2024, but forearm tendinitis has kept him out of action since mid-August. It's unclear if the 33-year-old will be ready for the start of spring training, but he'll now have to re-earn a spot on the 40-man roster whenever he's able to return.
