The Athletics announced their first major league free agent signing this morning, announcing that the team has agreed to terms with left-handed reliever T.J. McFarland:

The exact terms of the deal aren’t yet known but it crosses off an important thing on the off-season to-do list. Considering the club will be playing in a minor league ballpark for the next few seasons they might struggle to attract free agents so getting someone already familiar with the team and coaches is a plus.
