“Severino Returns to the Mound: Can He Outshine His Old Teammates in a High-Stakes Showdown?”
“I was really happy to see those guys. They’re like family to me,” the 31-year-old pitcher said. “Even (though) it was one year, I feel like I was there for a long time.”
Severino (0-2, 4.74 ERA) is scheduled to face the Mets in the series finale on Sunday.
In December, Severino signed a two-year, $45 million deal with the Athletics with a player option for 2027. He went 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA with the Mets in 2024. Severino said he had hoped to remain with them.
“I actually asked for less money to stay there,” Severino said, “but I was not in their plans. At the beginning, I was shocked, but at the end, I knew that it was a business and it needs to take care of itself.”
