Athletics agree to deal with RHP Estrada

The Oakland Athletics and right-hander Marco Estrada agreed on a one-year deal, the team announced Friday. The deal is worth $4 million, according to multiple reports.

Estrada, 35, will be looking to bounce back from a rough 2018 campaign in which he went 7-14 with a 5.64 ERA in 28 starts for the Toronto Blue Jays. Estrada went 32-26 with a 3.88 ERA for Toronto in the three seasons prior to last year's struggles. He was named an American League All-Star in 2016 when he went 9-9 with a 3.48 ERA in 29 starts.

Overall, Estrada is 62-66 with a 4.24 ERA in 278 career appearances (189 starts) over parts of 11 big league seasons. He also has pitched for the Washington Nationals (2008-09) and Milwaukee Brewers (2010-14), in addition to his four seasons in Toronto. The A's outrighted right-hander Parker Bridwell to Triple-A Las Vegas to clear a 40-man roster spot. The 27-year-old Bridwell, who was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels earlier this week, will be a non-roster invitee next month to big league camp at spring training.
