Major League Baseball's free agency period has officially begun, marking the start of offseason player movement across the league. The Oakland Athletics, currently playing home games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, saw pitcher Luis Severino take the mound against the New York Yankees on May 29, 2026, in a game that highlighted the team's roster ahead of the open market.
Severino, wearing number 40 for the Athletics, started the contest at the team's temporary Sacramento venue. The game served as a late-season showcase for the right-hander, whose contract status will be among the decisions facing the organization as free agency unfolds.
The Athletics' situation is unique as they prepare for a planned relocation to Las Vegas while playing in Sacramento for the 2025-2027 seasons. Free agency decisions will shape the roster during this transitional period.
