The Oakland A’s entered the offseason with 10 players departing to free agency, and for the second time this winter they’ve brought one back.
The A’s re-signed reliever Yusmeiro Petit, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, still pending a physical. It’s a one-year contract for $2.55 million plus incentives, adds Ben Ross.
This will be Petit’s fourth season wearing green and gold, after he played out a two-year deal with a club option from 2018-20. He was reliably strong throughout that tenure in Oakland, providing a steady presence and heavy workload in the bullpen and serving as a late-inning setup man.
