The Athletics have added another option for their refurbished rotation, acquiring Jeffrey Springs in a multiplayer trade with the Tampa Bay Rays. The A's got Springs and fellow left-hander Jacob Lopez from Tampa Bay for right-handers Joe Boyle and Jacob Watters, infielder Will Simpson and a competitive balance pick in the 2025 amateur draft. The addition of Springs is another notable move for the A's ahead of their first season in West Sacramento. The A's finalized a $67 million, three-year contract with veteran right-hander Luis Severino this month.
