More MLB coverage from Sactown Sports
In what was officially the franchise’s first press conference since its departure from Oakland, the A’s announced the signing of star pitcher Luis Severino on Friday afternoon.
Severino, who inked a record-breaking three-year, $67 million deal–the largest guarantee in the history of the A’s franchise, surpassing a six-year, $66 million extension for Eric Chavez that was signed in 2004–arrived at the Kimpton-Sawyer Hotel in downtown Sacramento to don the green and gold for the very first time.
Following a nine-year stint in New York that featured eight seasons with the Yankees and one with the Mets, Severino is heading West and into the unknown as the A’s navigate through unchartered waters.
The seldom-spending Athletics will play in West Sacramento at Sutter Health Park, home of the Sacramento River Cats (AAA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants) during the 2025-27 seasons as they wait for a new ballpark to be complete in Las Vegas, Nevada.
