Summary
Luis Severino, a two-time All-Star pitcher, has signed a three-year, $67 million contract with the Oakland Athletics, the largest in the franchise's history. After a successful season with the New York Mets, going 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA, Severino became a key asset for the A's as they navigate their temporary relocation to Sacramento. The deal tops the previous record held by Eric Chavez and reflects the team's efforts to secure competitive talent amidst uncertainties about their future stadium location in Las Vegas. Severino, who will have the option to opt out after 2026, aims to revitalize his career with the Athletics.
