Athletics agree to sign ex-Rays pitcher to bolster depth

The Oakland Athletics have made a strategic move by signing 35-year-old Nick Anderson, a veteran reliever, to a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League spring training. This decision reflects the team's intent to bolster their pitching depth ahead of the new season. If Anderson performs well enough to earn a spot on the 40-man roster, he stands to make $1 million, showcasing the Athletics' commitment to enhancing their roster with experienced players. This signing is part of a broader trend in Major League Baseball where teams are increasingly looking to add seasoned talent to improve their competitive edge.
