MLB hot stove: Athletics, starter Mike Fiers agree to 2-year contract, report says image

The Athletics are sticking with a familiar face.

According to an MLB Network report, which cited unidentified league sources, pitcher Mike Fiers agreed to a two-year deal with the A's. The new contract will be worth between $14 million and $15 million, the report says.

Fiers finished out 2018 in Oakland after starting the season with the Tigers.

He appeared in just 10 games with the A's, but proved to be a reliable acquisition after he posted a 3.74 ERA and struck out 52 batters in 53 innings of work. He tallied a 5-2 record in Oakland

This is the A's third reported deal in two days. On Friday, Oakland secured veteran reliever Joakim Soria and was part of a three-team trade with the Rangers and Rays that included the addition of infielder Jurickson Profar.
