Joakim Soria did not exactly inspire much confidence amongst Oakland A’s fans. Nonetheless, it is worth considering bringing him back for 2021.
The Oakland A’s are not likely to bring many of their free agents back. They are not about to get involved in any bidding wars, and their ongoing budgetary concerns are even more pronounced this offseason.
