The Athletics have signed free agent Luis Severino to a surprising three-year deal worth $67MM, defying expectations for a club relocating to Las Vegas.
The A's willingness to overpay for Severino indicates their strategy to entice top free agents despite concerns about playing in a minor league stadium.
Severino's contract includes an opt-out clause after the second year, showcasing the A's desire to compete while navigating the complexities of a relocation.
With a target payroll around $100MM, the A's are clearly positioning themselves to be more aggressive than many anticipated in this free agency.
