Overview

• Severino surrendered seven runs (six earned) and failed to complete four innings in Oakland’s 12–5 loss at Yankee Stadium on June 29.
• The veteran right-hander revealed he spent a recent bullpen session checking for tipped pitches amid ongoing command issues.
• He publicly compared Sutter Health Park in Sacramento to spring training, citing its lack of atmosphere and substandard facilities.
• Oakland is reportedly open to trading Severino before the July 31 deadline but faces resistance due to nearly $10 million owed this season and $47 million guaranteed through 2026.
• Potential suitors are unlikely to engage unless the Athletics agree to absorb a large portion of Severino’s remaining salary or include top prospects.
