Overview

• Severino ultimately signed a three-year, $67 million deal with the Athletics, marking the largest guaranteed contract in the franchise's history.
• The pitcher acknowledged the challenges of adjusting to the Athletics' temporary facilities at Sutter Health Park, which is shared with a Triple-A team, calling the conditions less than ideal.
• Severino has started the 2025 season with a 4.74 ERA across three games and is scheduled to pitch against the Mets in Sunday's series finale.
• Mets manager Carlos Mendoza expressed pride in Severino's career progress, while the pitcher described his departure from New York as bittersweet but emphasized the business nature of the decision.
