"Anderson made 12 appearances with the Rockies this past season. He allowed 10 runs over 14 2/3 innings, striking out 10 while issuing a pair of free passes. The 35-year-old righty pitched in Triple-A with the Cardinals, Rox and Mariners. He combined for a 5.26 earned run average over 38 outings despite striking out an above-average 27.1% of batters faced. A veteran of six big league seasons, Anderson has moved around as a depth piece since excelling in leverage spots with the Rays from 2019-20."
"Anderson has missed bats in Triple-A over the past couple years but hasn't translated that into many whiffs against MLB competition. He still has mid-90s velocity and a career 3.43 ERA over 177 big league outings. That has gotten him various looks on minor league contracts over the past couple years. The A's have one of the younger bullpens in MLB. None of their projected relievers have even two years of service time."
Nick Anderson agreed to a minor league contract with the Athletics that includes an invite to big league camp and a $1 million payout if he reaches the MLB roster. Anderson made 12 appearances with the Rockies this past season, allowing 10 runs over 14 2/3 innings with 10 strikeouts and two walks. He spent time in Triple-A with the Cardinals, Rox and Mariners and posted a 5.26 ERA over 38 outings while striking out 27.1% of batters. A six-season veteran, Anderson still maintains mid-90s velocity and a 3.43 career ERA over 177 big league appearances. Oakland's bullpen is young, so Anderson will compete for a middle-relief role in Spring Training.
