Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
The Seth Brown era of Athletics baseball appears to have ended.
The veteran first baseman and outfielder was placed on waivers rather than being sent back to Sacramento following his most recent stint on the Injured List, which began on June 13 per Anthony Franco at MLB Trade Rumors.
The transactional particulars are a tad murky, but you can read more details in Franco’s report. The upshot is that Brown cleared waivers and has elected free agency; he will retain his 2025 salary of $2.7 million as he seeks a fresh start elsewhere.
