As the MLB offseason continues into 2025, notable names like Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes have already signed, but several key free agents and trade targets remain. The Oakland Athletics, under general manager David Forst, are actively seeking to enhance their roster after signing Luis Severino and Gio Urshela, while also trading for Jeffrey Springs and extending Brent Rooker.
The A's are under pressure to meet payroll requirements related to their revenue-sharing funds. Forst hinted that the team may pursue additional players, particularly starting pitchers, despite a challenging free-agent market dominated by top talents like Jack Flaherty and Max Scherzer.
Meanwhile, veteran reliever Tommy Kahnle is attracting attention, with eight teams reportedly interested in the 35-year-old. Coming off a solid 2024 season with the New York Yankees, where he maintained a 2.11 ERA, Kahnle's experience could be a valuable asset for many contenders looking to bolster their bullpens.
