Luis Severino Joins A's with Record $67M Contract
TL;DR
The Oakland Athletics have signed free agent pitcher Luis Severino to a three-year, $67 million contract, marking the largest deal in franchise history. The contract includes a $10 million signing bonus and an opt-out after the second year. This move is part of the A's strategy to boost their payroll as they prepare to relocate to Las Vegas. Severino, who had a resurgence with the Mets in 2024, will lead the A's rotation, though his past injuries and current performance suggest he may no longer be an ace-level pitcher.
