As Sign Jason Alexander To Minor League Contract

The Athletics have signed right-hander  to a minors deal, according to Alexanders . The contract presumably includes an invitation to the Athletics big league Spring Training camp. Alexander returned to minor league free agency at seasons end after spending the 2024 campaign pitching with Bostons Triple-A affiliate.  Alexander went undrafted in 2017 but signed with the Angels as a free agent, and the As now represent the fifth different organization the righty has played with during his seven pro seasons. The resume includes one season in the majors, as Alexander posted a 5.40 ERA over 71 2/3 innings Sebastian Aho Jersey  with the Brewers in 2022, working as both a swingman and reliever in his 18 appearances.  While not a standout performance, Alexanders ability to generate grounders and work as a swingman made him a candidate for Milwaukees roster heading into 2023 Spring Training, but a shoulder injury kept him out of action until a minor league rehab a signment that June. The Brewers outrighted him off their 40-man roster a month later and then moved on entirely after the season, leading to Alexander landing a deal last winter with the Red Sox.  Over 328 1/3 career innings at Triple-A, Alexander has a 5.04 ERA, 7.04% walk rate, and 18.85% strikeout rate. Alexander is a grounder specialist who has regularly posted groundball rates north of 55%, though his lack of real strikeout power has limited his ceiling.  Still, the 31-year-old can eat innings and work in a variety of roles, giving him value as a depth arm for the As to evaluate at Triple-A, or perhaps consider for a look on the big league roster. If he does make the team, itll be something of a homecoming for Alexander, whose hometown of Windsor, California is within a few hours drive from the Athletics temporary new home of Sacramento.  Justin Faulk Jersey
