A's Add Versatile Arm Andrew Bash

The A’s are bolstering their bullpen with a versatile new arm: Andrew Bash, a 29-year-old righty signed to a minor league deal. Headed to Triple-A Las Vegas, Bash brings proven value after a solid 2023 with the Blue Jays’ system, posting a 2.57 ERA over 84 innings while excelling in multiple roles — starts, holds, even closing. His adaptability is a perfect fit as the A’s rotation struggles without ace Luis Severino and the bullpen needs reinforcements after losing closer Elvis Alvarado. Though his stint with the Twins’ Triple-A team last year was less stellar (6.21 ERA in 38 innings), Bash’s growing comfort in both starting and relief roles makes him a valuable asset. With Gage Jump and J.T. Ginn leading the rotation, Bash could carve out a key role — and maybe even a path to the majors — this season.
