Familia is hoping to get another shot in the major leagues in 2025, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Familia, 35, has not pitched in the big leagues since he was released by the Athletics in May of 2023 after posting a 6.39 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 9:13 K:BB over 12.2 innings that year. The veteran reliever pitched in the Mexican League and Dominican Winter League this past season, allowing six runs with an 11:5 K:BB over 17.1 frames between the two stops. If Familia does catch on with an MLB organization, it surely would be on a minor-league deal.

Familia was released by the Athletics on May 6. Familia was designated for assignment by Oakland in early May and was cut loose by the organization a couple days later. The 33-year-old recorded two saves and one hold in 14 appearances with a 6.39 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 9:13 K:BB over 12.2 innings.

Familia was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Thursday. Familia actually leads the A's with two saves this season, but he also has a 6.39 ERA and hideous 9:13 K:BB over 12.2 innings. The veteran reliever will undoubtedly clear waivers and is probably looking at a minor-league deal for his next contract.

Familia (0-1) took the loss and blew the save against the Reds on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over one inning. He struck out two. Familia was handed the ball with Oakland clinging to a one-run lead in the ninth inning, but he couldn't get the job done. The right-hander allowed three of the first five batters he faced to reach base -- two by walk -- and saw the lead disappear when Jake Fraley tagged him for a two-out, two-run double. Familia had notched a save in two of his previous three outings coming into Saturday, so he's likely still going to see chances to close. However, he's posted a poor 6.57 ERA and 8:12 K:BB on the campaign, and given that the A's have started with an ugly 5-28 record, Familia is likely the least desirable closer in the game for fantasy purposes.

Familia allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in one inning against the Angels on Monday. He struck out one and earned a save. Familia was brought in to protect a three-run lead in the 10th inning and narrowly made it out. He served up a two-run homer to Brandon Drury but eventually retired Mike Trout with two runners on base to finish off the 11-10 win. Familia has converted two of his three save chances this season while posting a 5.73 ERA across 11 innings.
