Athletics, Tyler Soderstrom Agree to 7-Year, $86 Million Extension With Club Option

The reported deal, pending a physical, is the A’s largest guarantee, reflecting a push to lock up young hitters before relocating to Las Vegas.

Overview

  • ESPN and other outlets report the agreement at seven years and $86 million, while the Associated Press notes it is not finalized and is contingent on a physical.
  • The pact includes an eighth-year club option and performance escalators that could raise the total value to $131 million, setting a franchise-record guarantee.
  • Soderstrom, 24, delivered a breakout 2025 season at .276/.346/.474 with 25 home runs and 93 RBIs, thriving after a move from catcher/first base to left field.
  • The extension buys out his arbitration years and positions the club to control his rights through 2033 if the option is exercised.
  • The move continues Oakland’s recent commitment to a young core—following deals for Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler, the Severino signing, and the Jeff McNeil trade—as the team plays in Sacramento ahead of a planned 2028 Las Vegas arrival.
