The Oakland Athletics agreed to a major league deal with right-handed pitcher Osvaldo Bido on Monday, according to Robert Murray of Fansided.
Signed out of the Dominican Republic at 21 years old by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the now 28-year-old finally made his major league debut this past season for the club in a swingman capacity. Though not on any Rookie of the Year ballots, Bido had a decent showing in his 16 games, 9 of which were starts. The 5.86 ERA isn’t pretty, but ERA estimators are in consensus that he was much better than that number.
