Overview

  • Sources say the pact includes a club option for an eighth year and escalators that can raise the total value to $131 million.
  • The Associated Press reports the agreement has not been finalized and is contingent on a physical.
  • Soderstrom, 24, broke out in 2025 by hitting .276/.346/.474 with 25 homers and 93 RBIs after moving full time to left field and earning a Gold Glove finalist nod.
  • The $86 million guarantee is the largest in Athletics history, with an average annual value of about $12.3 million.
  • The extension buys out arbitration years and could keep Soderstrom under team control through 2033, continuing a run of young-core commitments that includes Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler.
