Mark Leiter Jr. Agrees to 1-Year, $3M Deal with A's

Free agent reliever Mark Leiter Jr. has agreed to a 1-year contract with the Oakland Athletics worth $3 million. Leiter Jr. posted a 4.84 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 48.1 innings for the Yankees in 2025, but his 3.55 FIP and 54:17 strikeout-to-walk ratio were encouraging. He could compete for saves in the Athletics' bullpen.
