Right-hander Mike Fiers signed a one-year contract to remain with the Oakland Athletics, the team announced Tuesday.
The deal is worth a reported $3.5 million.
Fiers, who reported to Oakland’s training camp in Arizona on Tuesday and passed a physical, won a team-leading six games for the A’s last year. He ranks among Major League Baseball’s leaders in wins since he was acquired by the A’s after the 2018 trading deadline.
