The Athletics and Brown avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Wednesday. There's no word on the financial terms of the deal, but Brown was due a modest raise after earning a $2.6 million salary in 2024. The 32-year-old slashed .231/.283/.379 with 14 home runs in 124 games this past season. Brown is likely to play a good amount versus righties again for the Athletics in 2025.

Brown went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday. Brown posted the only multi-hit effort of the afternoon for the Athletics in the season finale, his first performance with a pair of knocks since Sept. 6. The productive afternoon prevented him from heading into the offseason mired in a slump, as he'd gone just 2-for-24 over the prior seven games. The 2024 campaign was essentially a tale of two seasons for Brown -- he earned himself a mid-June outright assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas by posting a .189 average, .557 OPS and 33.8 percent strikeout rate over his first 63 games, but he generated a .271 average and .760 OPS across 61 games upon returning shortly before the All-Star break, striking out at a more modest 22.4 percent clip in the process.

Brown isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against New York. Brown will take a seat Saturday as the Yankees send fellow left-hander Carlos Rodon to the mound. The former's absence will allow Daz Cameron to pick up a start in left field while batting sixth.

Brown is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. The Cubs are starting a third straight lefty in the series in Justin Steele, and the left-handed-hitting Brown has been out of the lineup for all three contests, although he did receive a couple plate appearances off the bench Tuesday. Tyler Nevin is in left field for Wednesday's series finale.

Brown is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs. Brown will take a seat with the Cubs sending a tough lefty (Shota Imanaga) to the hill for the series opener at Wrigley Field. Tyler Nevin will spell Brown in left field and bat eighth.
