The 33-year-old veteran has been one of baseball’s best strikeout pitchers out of the bullpen.
New York Mets relief pitcher Trevor May throws to an Atlanta Braves batter during the ninth inning of a baseball game Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2022, in Atlanta. Hard-throwing relief pitcher Trevor May and the Oakland A’s, both looking to rebound from tough 2022 seasons, agreed to terms Friday on a one-year, free-agent deal worth a reported $7 million.
ESPN reported May’s deal includes a $1 million signing bonus and the opportunity for the right-hander to earn an additional $500,000 in bonuses. The 33-year-old May spent the past four seasons with the New York Mets and figures to earn a role in the back end of Oakland’s young and inexperienced bullpen. Before adding May, the A’s didn’t have one prospective reliever with as many as two years of Major League experience.Despite coming off his worst statistical season since 2016, May has been one of baseball’s best strikeout relievers for years.
The eight-year veteran May logged a 5.04 ERA in 25 innings while missing three months with a triceps injury last season. However, May was still a high-velocity reliever and had a 27% strikeout rate and just an 8.1% walk rate.
