MESA, Ariz. -- Right-hander Trevor Cahill and the Oakland Athletics have finalized a $1.25 million, one-year contract.
As part of the deal announced Monday, Cahill would get a $250,000 assignment bonus if traded.
The 30-year-old was 4-3 with a 4.03 ERA last season in 14 starts and seven relief appearances for San Diego and Kansas City, which acquired him on July 24. He had a $1.75 million salary and earned a $250,000 assignment bonus but fell short of a $250,000 bonus that would have been triggered by his 15th start.
Oakland drafted Cahill in the second round in 2006 with the 66th overall pick.
