The A’s added some much-needed experience to their bullpen on Friday by signing right-handed reliever Trevor May to a one-year deal.
The contract is worth $7 million and includes a $1 million signing bonus and performance bonuses that could earn May another $500,000, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
May had somewhat of a down year for the Mets in 2022 as he battled injuries. The 33-year-old posted a 5.04 ERA with 30 strikeouts and nine walks in 25 innings across 26 relief appearances. Most of those struggles, however, came in his first eight outings of the season while he posted a 8.64 ERA before going on the injured list with a stress reaction in his right arm. Over his final 18 appearances, May notched a 3.24 ERA with 25 strikeouts and six walks in 16 2/3 innings.

They can afford it if they trade Laureano...
He won't sell a ticket. He won't make the evening news highlights. The flawed but occasionally spectacular Joey Gallo signed for 1/$11 but the A's make this deal?
So indeed, it sure looks like the A's are just tossing some money out there willy-nilly to get total payroll up to Pirate levels so nobody pays too much attention to the $100 M from other teams being shoved under the owner's door.
