The Oakland A’s re-signed two of their relief pitchers on Friday, avoiding arbitration with both of them. Liam Hendriks will earn $2.15 million, reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo, and Ryan Dull will earn $0.86 million, per Jon Heyman of Fancred.
Friday brings the deadline for teams to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players. Oakland entered the offseason with 12 eligible players, though on Thursday they resolved one of them by re-signing catcher Josh Phegley. Now that they’ve settled with Hendriks and Dull, there are nine more players on the list. The A’s don’t need to figure out salaries for everyone before today’s deadline, but they must at least commit to whether or not they will keep them; anyone who is non-tendered will become free agents.
