Invited to spring training The Athletics have extended Kurtz an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.
Impact The No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Kurtz hit the ground running in his pro debut, slashing .368/.520/.763 with four homers in 12 games between Single-A Stockton and Double-A Midland. He then went on to mash in the Arizona Fall League, as well, with a 1.058 OPS and a couple homers in 13 contests. Kurtz, who will turn 22 in March, will likely go back to Midland to begin 2025 and could push to debut late in the season if things go well.

Taken off 40-man roster The Athletics designated Klein for assignment Friday.
Impact The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Jose Leclerc, who was signed Friday. Klein, who was acquired from the Royals at the trade deadline as part of the return for Lucas Erceg, allowed nine runs with a 7:6 K:BB over 7.1 innings in his first go-round in the majors in 2024. However, the big righty throws hard and 30.4 percent strikeout rate at the minor-league level, so he figures to draw some interest via trade or waivers.

Inks one-year deal with Athletics The Athletics signed Leclerc to a one-year, $10 million contract Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Although he finished with a 4.32 ERA, Leclerc also posted a 30.9 percent strikeout rate in 2024, his highest mark since 2019. The 31-year-old has never had a single-season walk rate in the single digits, so the A's are just hoping he can miss enough bats to overcome the inevitable lapses of control. Leclerc will be a setup man ahead of star closer Mason Miller.
