Joining A's for camp The Athletics announced Monday that Guduan will report to big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee.

Impact Guduan initially signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Dec. 14, but it wasn't apparent until Monday whether or not that deal included an invite to big-league camp. The 28-year-old will theoretically have the chance to make the Athletics' Opening Day roster as a left-handed reliever, but the organization is most likely planning on having him begin the season at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Gets invite to big-league camp The Athletics announced Monday that Reed will report to big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee.

Impact The 25-year-old Reed isn't a likely candidate to break camp with the Athletics, but his high-end speed and switch-hitting ability should keep him under consideration for a callup if the big club requires an extra outfielder at any point. Reed's last professional action came with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate at Amarillo in 2019, when he slashed .228./310/.388 with 14 home runs and 23 stolen bases in 440 plate appearances.

Joining big-league camp Allen was invited to Oakland's big-league camp Monday.

Impact The 22-year-old shortstop has yet to advance beyond High-A, but he looked quite good at that level in 2019, hitting .292/.363/.434 there for Stockton in 2019. His prospect profile is driven by his excellent glove, as he has very little power, hitting a grand total of four homers in 228 career professional games.

Gets big-league spring invite The Athletics announced Monday that Soderstrom will report to big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee.

Impact After being selected in the first round of the 2020 first-year player draft, Soderstrom didn't get the chance to make his debut in affiliated ball due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. The assignment to major-league spring training will thus give the Athletics a greater opportunity to evaluate Soderstrom against higher-level competition, even though he won't be a serious candidate to break camp with the big club. Look for the 19-year-old backstop to make his professional debut at the rookie-ball level.

Reaches deal with A's Trivino signed a one-year, $912,500 contract with Oakland on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old came on strong in 2020 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 23.1 innings. Trivino has an outside chance at the closer's role in 2021 following the departure of Liam Hendriks, though Jake Diekman is A's top internal candidate.

Reaches deal with A's Canha signed a one-year, $6.925 million contract with Oakland on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The 31-year-old receives a sizable raise from his $4.8 million figure for 2020 as he enters his final season of arbitration eligibility. Canha had a .246/.387/.408 slash line with five homers, 33 RBI and four stolen bases in 59 games last season.

Avoids arbitration Bassitt signed a one-year, $4.9 million deal with the A's on Friday to avoid arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact The right-hander more than doubles his $2.25 million salary from 2020 (before being prorated for the shortened season) after delivering a 2.29 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB across 63 innings. Bassitt has a firm spot in the starting rotation for 2021 entering spring training.

Comes to terms with A's Montas signed a one-year, $1.8 million deal with the Athletics on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact Montas didn't seem to be pitching like his normal self last season, logging a 5.60 ERA and 1.51 WHIP. His splitter, which was a dominant pitch for him in 2019, was much more hittable in 2020 and his groundball rate plummeted. It's possible he wasn't right physically, or perhaps his excellent 2020 was fueled by the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine, which he received an 80-game suspension for that year. A 13-strikeout game in which he allowed zero earned runs against the Mariners on Sept. 27 provides some hope that he can still return to his peak form.

Avoids arbitration with A's Manaea signed a one-year, $5.95 million deal with Oakland on Friday to avoid arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact The two sides were able to reach a deal ahead of Friday's deadline, and the left-hander is now officially under contract for 2021. Manaea had a 4.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB over 54 innings during 2020 and should enter spring training as a member of the starting rotation.

Avoids arbitration with A's Chapman agreed to a one-year, $6.49 million deal with the Athletics on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Impact He underwent surgery to repair a torn right hip labrum in mid-September. Agent Scott Boras said in December that Chapman received clearance for increased activity and should be ready for spring training. That said, it's possible Chapman won't be performing at his very best early in the season as he works his way back.

Acquired by Athletics Turley was traded from the Pirates to the Athletics on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Oakland picked Turley up for cheap after he was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh earlier in the week. It's tough to get too excited about a 31-year-old with a 7.78 ERA in 39.1 career MLB innings, but he at least throws left-handed, which could help his chances of winning a relief role.
