The A's will have an interesting decision to make when it comes to what to do with former Atlanta Braves prospect Kyle Muller this winter. The 27-year-old was acquired by the A's as part of the Sean Murphy deal, and only he, Royber Salinas and Esteury Ruiz remain from that return. Both veteran backstop Manny Piña and right-hander Freddy Tarnok have already moved on.
Muller earned the Opening Day nod in his first season with the A's, firing a gem against the Angels. From there, the season was mostly downhill, as he finished with a 7.60 ERA across 77 innings in 21 games (13 starts).
