MLB Rumors: A’s Sign Reliever Trevor Rosenthal, First Baseman Mitch Moreland

The A’s made a pair of signings on Thursday as they eye their second straight AL West title in 2021.

Oakland signed reliever Trevor Rosenthal to a one-year, $11 million deal, according to the MLB Network's Jon Heyman. The addition of Rosenthal came hours after signing first baseman Mitch Moreland to a one-year contract, per ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Rosenthal posted a career-best 1.90 ERA last season. He tallied 11 saves, finishing the season with 38 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings. Moreland posted an .894 OPS, hitting 10 home runs in 42 games.

The A's have lost multiple key contributors from their 2020 team during the offseason.
