The Oakland A's faced uncertainty in their pitching rotation as they approached the offseason. JP Sears emerged as a reliable starter but lacks ace potential. Recently, the A's signed Luis Severino and traded for Jeffrey Springs, adding valuable experience to the rotation. However, both players carry injury risks that could impact their performance. General Manager David Forst remains optimistic about further additions to the rotation, which is crucial if the A's aim to be competitive next season. There are still veteran pitchers available that could enhance their roster.
"Despite a host of trades aimed at acquiring pitching help, lefty JP Sears was the only prospect acquired who's stepped up and pitched well enough to lock down a rotation job."
"Luis Severino signed a three-year, $67MM contract and immediately became the team's top rotation arm, adding much-needed strength to a thin pitching staff."
