Nationals sign T.J. McFarland; only one A’s free agent remains

The Oakland A’s entered the offseason with 10 free agents coming off their roster, and nine of them have now found homes for 2021.

The latest is relief pitcher T.J. McFarland, who agreed to a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive on Wednesday.

The lefty McFarland pitched out of the A’s bullpen last season and provided adequate work over 23 games. His ERA was a tick worse than league average, but he stranded 4-of-5 inherited runners and he never blew a lead en route to seven holds. His signature 59.
