Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
One headline of the A’s offseason was that the front office was more aggressive than they’ve typically been in recent years, making some solid improvements to the roster— and the starting rotation in particular, with the addition of free agents Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs.
Through the first series of 2025 against the Mariners in Seattle, the A’s rotation fulfilled its promise and then some as Severino, Springs, Osvaldo Bido, and JP Sears all achieved results ranging from solid to spectacular, with both aforementioned free agent arrivals pitching six scoreless in their A’s debuts.
