Athletics' Seth Brown: Avoids arbitration
The Oakland Athletics and Seth 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.

Athletics' Seth Brown: Productive showing in finale
Seth 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 Oakland 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.
