Athletics starter Luis Severino likely will not be in Sacramento for too much longer.
The A’s held on to the right-hander at this year’s trade deadline, but according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the team is “expected” to deal him away this winter.
After signing with the A’s on a three-year, $67 million contract — the largest in team history — Severino is pitching to a 4.83 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 98 strikeouts over 130 1/3 innings this season.
Severino had a resurgent season with the Mets in 2024, his first fully healthy season since 2018. He posted a 3.91 ERA with 161 strikeouts over 31 starts.
Before his stint with the Mets, Severino spent the first eight years of his career with the Yankees, putting up a 3.79 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP in 727 1/3 innings over 125 starts.
