The Oakland Athletics signed Drew Rucinski last offseason in hopes that he could eat some innings and provide some stability for their rotation. Neither of those things happened though as Rucinski battled injury throughout and ended up tossing 18 ineffective innings.
How Acquired?
The Athletics signed Rucinski to a one-year, $3 million deal last December. The deal also included a $5 million club option for the 2024 season.
What were the expectations?
The A’s brought in Rucinski after he put up four solid seasons in the KBO in which he tossed at least 177 1⁄3 innings.
