Athletics acquire reliever Austin Adams in trade with Mets

The Oakland Athletics acquired right-hander Austin Adams from the New York Mets on Sunday for cash considerations.

The Athletics selected Adams to their 40-man roster and placed right-hander Trevor Gott on the 60-day injured list. Gott is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the entire season and part of 2025.

Adams, 32, went 0-1 with a 5.71 ERA in 24 relief appearances last season with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He signed as a free agent with the Mets on Nov. 30 for $800,000 while in the major leagues and $180,000 while in the minors and the chance to earn $500,000 in performance bonuses for games pitched: $100,000 each for 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55.

He was assigned outright to Triple-A Syracuse on Feb. 12 and had a 6.75 ERA over six games and 5 1/3 innings with the Mets during spring training.

Adams is 6-5 with a 4.17 ERA in 132 career appearances with the Washington Nationals, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres and Diamondbacks.
