Elephant Rumblings: Bido up, Spence down
Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
A revolving cast of young and struggling pitchers continues to shuffle between Sacramento and Las Vegas as the A’s tinker with their pitching.
A’s have optioned Mitch Spence to Triple-A Las Vegas and recalled Osvaldo Bido.
— Martín Gallegos (@MartinJGallegos) July 10, 2025 Mitch Spence was optioned to Triple-A after a terribly rough four start stretch through which he allowed 19 runs and nine home runs in 20\u2154 innings. The A’s must have finally accepted that Spence needs a tuneup after his last start on Wednesday against the Braves: the 27-year-old righty allowed eight runs and five home runs in that contest alone.
