Andrew Chafin Stats

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Andrew Chafin is set for free agency after turning down his side of a $5.25 million mutual option. He will receive a $500,000 buyout. After a very strong season in which he registered a 1.83 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP and 64 strikeouts with five saves and 22 holds across 68 2/3 innings in 71 games for the Cubs and A's, Chafin figures to command a multi-year deal as one of the top lefty relief options on the market. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on where he lands, as he has displayed the ability to lock down the back end of a bullpen, but he stands to hold most value in leagues that reward holds.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Andrew Chafin made quick work of the Houston Astros in the top of the ninth, then earned his second win of the season when the A's walked off in the bottom half of the frame. Chafin worked through the meat of the Houston lineup; he struck out Yordan Alvarez before retiring Carlos Correa and Kyle Tucker on a groundout and flyout, respectively. With a 1.76 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP, Chafin is the most-trusted reliever in the Oakland bullpen and should be rostered in any fantasy league where saves are rewarded.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Andrew Chafin tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday to earn his fifth save of the season. Chafin didn't make things easy as he allowed a leadoff single to Shohei Ohtani and wound up loading the bases before inducing a game-ending lineout. Despite the stress in the ninth, Chafin nailed down the save as the A's bullpen seems to have fallen into a full-blown committee in the ninth inning. Sergio Romo earned the save on Friday and Lou Trivino is also in the mix late in games. Chafin has the best numbers of any A's reliever and seems to be the top option for manager Bob Melvin, making him the de facto choice to roster in fantasy for those chasing saves.
