Free-agent pitcher Adam Oller has signed a deal with the KIA Tigers of the Korea Baseball Organization. The details on the contract are unknown, but Oller figures to move straight into the starting rotation for next season. The right-hander has struggled with a 6.54 ERA across 36 games (23 starts) between the Oakland Athletics and Miami Marlins in three MLB seasons. He most recently pitched with the Marlins, but was crushed to the tune of a 5.31 ERA in eight starts. The 30-year-old will get a chance to rebuild his value in Korea.
Free-agent right-hander Adam Oller agreed to terms with the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, according to a source. Oller has spent both of his big-league seasons the last two years with the Oakland Athletics and will reunite with new Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt. In his two seasons with Oakland, Oller went 3-9 with a 7.09 ERA (6.65 FIP), 1.72 WHIP, 51 walks and 59 strikeouts in 94 innings over 28 appearances (15 starts). The 29-year-old swing man allowed 24 runs (22 earned) on 29 hits while walking 12 and fanning 13 in 19 2/3 innings over nine appearances (one starts) for the A's in 2023, so he's nowhere near the fantasy radar.
The Seattle Mariners claimed right-hander Adam Oller off waivers from the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday after he was recently placed on outright waivers by Oakland. Oller will get another shot with a new team, but he'll remain in the American League West. The 28-year-old reliever allowed a whopping 24 runs (22 earned) on 29 hits (five homers surrendered) while walking 12 and striking out 13 in 19 2/3 innings over nine outing (one start) this year in his second big-league season with the A's to get the boot off the roster. He wasn't very good at Triple-A Las Vegas, either, with a rough 7.11 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, 24 walks and 59 strikeouts in 50 2/3 frames covering 12 appearances (nine starts). Oller will strictly represent minor-league pitching depth in Seattle.
Oakland Athletics pitcher Adam Oller will make the start against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. The 28-year-old has made two relief appearances this season, but will be asked to make a start on Thursday. Oller is primarily a starter, but the A's have been using him in relief to begin the season. Regardless of where he's at, Oller isn't a reliable fantasy option, so managers should look elsewhere for help on Thursday.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Adam Oller stifled the Yankees offense on Saturday by tossing eight-shutout frames in his team's 3-2 extra-inning win. He allowed just one hit on the night when Oswaldo Cabrera doubled to lead off the sixth inning as he struck out three and walked one in the 88-pitch effort. It was by far the best performance of the season for the 27-year-old who was yet to work a full seven innings all year, let alone eight-scoreless to one of the best offenses in baseball. Although Oller has now strung together three quality starts in a row, he still holds a robust 5.66 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with 40 K through 68 1/3 IP. He can be left on waiver wires for his next start versus Baltimore next weekend, but he could be a player worth keeping an eye on down the stretch run.
