Athletics urged to retain their late-inning southpaw weapon during the offseason

The Athletics looked to bolster their bullpen early in the season by acquiring Sean Newcomb in a trade with the Boston Red Sox . The two agreed that cash considerations would be enough, and Newcomb fell into a high-leverage role.

Things opened up after the A's decided to trade closer Mason Miller in late July. However, the club went with multiple closers down the stretch, including Newcomb.

Now, the A's are at risk of losing their lefty reliever in free agency. He was working on a one-year deal that he signed with Boston and could generate a ton of interest on the open market.
