Yusmeiro Petit, the rubber-armed pitcher without who threw six of the most critical innings in San Francisco Giants history, is coming back to the Bay.
The East Bay, to be specific.
Petit has reached agreement on a two-year, $10 million contract with the A's, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Petit, 33, is coming off a solid year with the Angels. He pitched 91 1/3 innings, in 59 relief appearances and one start, with a career-best 2.76 ERA.
Petit is one of the most versatile pitchers in the majors. As a starter, he fell one out short of a perfect game in 2013.
