A person with direct knowledge of the negotiations says third baseman Gio Urshela has reached agreement on a one-year contract with the Athletics1 DAY AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
One-year deal with Athletics Urshela agreed to a one-year contract with the A's, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. The deal is pending a physical.
Impact Urshela split time between Detroit and Atlanta last season and hit .250 with nine home runs and a .647 OPS. He was released by Detroit in August after hitting just .243/.286/.333, but improved slightly with Atlanta by hitting .265 with a .711 OPS. Urshela still has a decent glove at third base as his Defensive Runs Saved ranked 18th at the position last season. He'll compete for a regular role this spring at third base.

Athletics acquire LHP Jeffrey Springs in multiplayer deal with the Rays
The Athletics have added another option for their refurbished rotation, acquiring Jeffrey Springs in a multiplayer trade with the Tampa Bay RaysDECEMBER 14 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Traded to A's The Rays traded Lopez and Jeffrey Springs to the Athletics on Saturday in exchange for Joe Boyle, Jacob Watters, Will Simpson and a compensatory draft pick.
Impact Lopez appeared in four games for the Rays last season, giving up six earned runs while striking out eight batters and walking seven across 10.1 innings. His performance improved slightly in Triple-A (4.26 ERA, 1.32 WHIP over 88.2 innings), and his chances of making the Athletics' Opening Day bullpen will likely depend on how well he does during spring training.

Joining A's via trade The Rays traded Springs to the Athletics on Saturday in exchange for Joe Boyle, Jacob Watters, Will Simpson and a compensatory draft pick, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After signing Luis Severino to the largest guaranteed deal in franchise history, the A's continue to invest into their rotation by acquiring Springs. The 32-year-old southpaw missed the first half of last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery but returned to start seven games for Tampa Bay, recording a 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 33 innings. He and Severino will almost certainly slot in at the top of the Athletics' rotation, though because Springs has only surpassed the 45-inning mark once in his seven-year career, the A's may look to limit his workload in 2025.

Latches on with Athletics The Athletics signed Bowden to a minor-league contract Dec. 9.
Impact Bowden, 30, pitched at Triple-A Gwinnett in the Atlanta organization this past season, posting a 4.03 ERA and 35:17 K:BB across 29 innings. The right-handed reliever's lone major-league experience came back in 2021, when he held a 6.56 ERA in 39 appearances with the Rockies.

Snagged in Rule 5 draft The Athletics selected Murdock with the fourth pick in the Rule 5 draft Wednesday, JJ Cooper of Baseball America reports.
Impact A 26-year-old righty reliever from the Royals organization, Murdock has logged groundball rates over 55 percent at his three most recent stops thanks to a quality sinker. He posted a 3.76 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 46:26 K:BB and 62.1 percent groundball rate in 38.1 innings at Triple-A last season. Murdock should work in low-leverage situations as a rookie and will need to remain in the big leagues all season, otherwise the A's would need to return him to the Royals.

Team trying to extend Athletics manager Mark Kotsay indicated Friday that the club is looking to sign Rooker (forearm) to a contract extension, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Kotsay was talking to reporters about the recent signing of Luis Severino and noted of Rooker that the team is "hopeful to get something done" with the 30-year-old that would show the Athletics are moving in a new direction in regard to "making commitments to players." Rooker is projected to make around $5 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility this offseason and is under team control through 2027. Athletics general manager David Forst said in November that he did not expect to trade Rooker, and the news that the club is looking to extend him instead certainly backs up that line of thinking. Rooker underwent right forearm extensor surgery but is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.
