Plus, the Athletics’ bullpen pitched great in the second half of the year. They were eighth in WAR, seventh in FIP, and first in hard-hit rate post-All-Star break, per FanGraphs. Four of the five most-used relievers had a sub-4.00 FIP, including All-Star closer Mason Miller. The only one that didn’t is on another team. The A’s signed José Leclerc this offseason, who has a career 3.44 FIP.Â
They also spent a little money on their hitting, inking OF Lawrence Butler to a seven-year, $65.5 million extension, and OF Brent Rooker to a five-year, $60 million extension. Rooker hit 30+ home runs for the Athletics in 2023 and 2024. Butler had a 130 wRC+ last year, his first full season in MLB. FanGraphs projects the A’s to rank 13th in batting WAR this year.Â
