Red Sox Predicted To Trade For Former No. 35 Overall Pick, $3.5 Million All-Star
As the Boston Red Sox seek a right-handed power bat, don't be surprised if they ring up the Oakland Athletics. Boston's chief baseball officer Craig Breslow will no doubt be monitoring the free agent market for guys like Teoscar Hernández who can provide the Red Sox with some righty pop, but Breslow should be open to trades, as well. NESN's Tim Crowley recently indicated that Breslow could make a move for Athletics superstar Brent Rooker, who is coming off an All-Star season but is still under contract for $3.5 million in 2025, a tiny number compared to his baseball value.
Former Houston Astro elects free agency
The Houston Astros designated right-hander Brandon Bielak for assignment on May 11, and he was picked up by the Oakland A's not too long after, with the Athletics needing fresh arms pretty regularly at that point in the campaign. Bielak ended the year in the minors for Oakland, and on Tuesday he elected free agency. Bielak, 28, was originally selected by Houston in the 11th round of the 2017 Draft and made his big-league debut in 2020 with the club.
Dave Stewart Enters Picture As Possible New Owner Of White Sox
For the first time since he and the late Eddie Einhorn bought the team in 1981, Jerry Reinsdorf has been linked to a possible sale of the White Sox. The Athletic reported Wednesday that Dave Stewart and business partner Lonnie Murray have put together a group that is in discussion to purchase the team. Both Reinsdorf and Stewart, a 168-win pitcher who has also worked as a player agent and team executive, denied comment when reached by the Athletic.
Top 3 Positions A's Need to Upgrade This Offseason
The former Oakland A's made some real improvements on the field in 2024, which saw Brent Rooker establish himself as a big-time bat in the middle of the lineup, Lawrence Butler become arguably the face of the A's rebuild and JJ Bleday put together a solid breakout campaign. While the A's are headed to Sacramento, the goal for the team on the field will still be to finish with a .500 record. The A's finished with a cumulative ERA of 4.37, which ranked No. 24 in MLB, but it was also a full run better than they finished with in 2023's 112-loss season. The A's starters in 2024 ended up with a 4.76 ERA, which was well above league average (4.15).
