How will A’s bring free agents to Sacramento?

Rotoworld Player News

Athletics signed INF Carlos Cortes to a minor league contract.

The 27-year-old second baseman spent his first seven minor league seasons in the Mets’ organization. In 2024, he slashed .246/.330/.456 with 16 homers, 52 RBI, three stolen bases and a 60/37 K/BB ratio across 321 plate appearances at Triple-A Syracuse. He’ll add infield depth for the A’s at Triple-A Las Vegas.
Walker Buehler

FA Starting Pitcher #21

Athletics’ manager Mark Kotsay told reporters this week that the club has been in contact with free agent right-hander Walker Buehler.

The A’s aren’t normally a team that you expect to be in the mix for the top free agents on the market, but it does appear that they’re at least trying to make a pitch to Buehler to come to West Sacramento next season. Buehler is expected to generate plenty of interest this winter, so the A’s are likely to have to massively overpay if they hope to emerge as the victor here.
Seth Brown

OAK First Baseman #15

Seth Brown and the Athletics avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year deal.

Brown was eligible for arbitration for the second year in a row, and is looking at a decent raise from the $2,600,000 he made in 2024 his first time around. In 2024, Brown hit .231/.289/.379 with 14 homers over an even 400 plate appearances.
Denzel Clarke

OAK Center Fielder #75

Kiley McDaniel of ESPN reports that the Athletics have selected the contract of OF Denzel Clarke from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Clarke would have been eligible for the Rule 5 draft if the Athletics didn’t add him before Tuesday’s deadline. The 24-year-old forged a .784 OPS over 431 at-bats in 2024 and has a good chance to help the A’s in 2025.
Gunnar Hoglund

OAK Starting Pitcher #96

Athletics selected the contract of RHP Gunnar Hoglund from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Hoglund will now be protected from the Rule 5 draft. A first-round pick in 2021, Hoglund has a chance to make appearances for the team formerly known as Oakland in 2025.
Ryan Cusick

OAK Starting Pitcher #94

Ari Alexander of KPRC in Houston reports that the Athletics selected the contract of Ryan Cusick from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Cusick would have been eligible for the Rule 5 draft in December if he had not been added ot the 40-man roster. The former first-round pick made 30 appearances in 2024 — 12 of those starts — with a 4.66 ERA and 66/40 K/BB over 63 2/3 innings at the Double-A and Triple-A levels.
Matt Krook

OAK Starting Pitcher #66

Athletics signed LHP Matt Krook to a minor league contract.

Despite walking way too many batters, Krook has been effective as both a starter and a reliever in the minors. In the majors, though, he’s given up 13 earned runs in five innings for the Yankees and Orioles. The A’s will likely keep the 30-year-old in the bullpen and see if they can figure something out with him. He’s struck out 109 in 77 2/3 innings in Triple-A the last two years.
Jason Alexander

OAK Starting Pitcher #41

Athletics signed RHP Jason Alexander to a minor league contract.

Alexander, 31, spent last season in Boston’s Triple-A rotation, going 7-6 with a 4.42 ERA and a 129/39 K/BB in 138 1/3 innings. The stuff isn’t quite there to make him a solid MLB starter, but he’s someone who can eat innings if the need arises.
Tanner Dodson

OAK Starting Pitcher

Athletics signed RHP Tanner Dodson to a minor league contract

Dodson spent the last three seasons in the Dodgers organization, pitching to a 3.32 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and 58/43 K/BB ratio in 62 1/3 innings out of the Triple-A bullpen in 2023. He’ll have a better chance to make his MLB debut now than he’s with the Athletics.
Nick Kurtz

OAK First Baseman

Athletics 1B prospect Nick Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Tuesday in Arizona Fall League action.

The fourth overall selection from the 2024 MLB Draft has torn the cover off the ball in Arizona, batting .364 with two homers in just 11 AFL contests. The 21-year-old first baseman tore through a couple levels in the Athletics’ system to finish last year at Double-A Midland and could easy arrive in the big leagues at some point next season. He’s a name fantasy managers, even those in re-draft leagues, should be keeping a close eye on during spring training.
