2025 Fantasy Outlook
The A's spent on a new ace in Luis Severino and traded for Jeffrey Springs from Tampa Bay, but before that, Sears looked like the de facto 2025 Opening Day starter. After all, he led the team in innings and wins among other categories last season. Sears is a lefty with five different pitches, but he's never shown much of a strikeout punch against big-league hitters. To his credit he rarely shoots himself in the foot with walks, and he's been a workhorse in recent years with 353 total innings over the past two seasons. Complicating matters is the move to West Sacramento. Pitching in a PCL park will likely be tough, dinging the home streaming appeal. Read Past Outlooks
Evens record at 5-5
Sears (5-5) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the Orioles on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Sears wasn't at his best, yielding two home runs in this outing, continuing a recent trend of trouble with the long ball. He's allowed nine homers over his last four starts. He's also failed to record more than four strikeouts in six straight outings, but the Athletics gave him enough support Friday to let the left-hander pick up his first win since April 28 versus the Rangers. Sears is now at a 5.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB through 67.1 innings over 13 starts. The 29-year-old is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Acquired from the Yankees in August of 2022 as part of the Frankie Montas trade, Sears led the Oakland clubhouse in innings last year by a significant margin and was the only A's pitcher trusted to make more than 22 starts. That isn't saying much given the company he kept in what was the worst rotation in the American League, but Sears averaged nearly a strikeout per inning and would seem to have the arsenal to generate even more swing-and-misses moving forward. His four-seamer, slider and changeup all rated as better-than-average offerings in 2023, and his sweeper had a whiff rate of 30.0 percent. Somewhat surprisingly, it was left-handed hitters who did the most damage against him, even as a southpaw. Call that an aberration and see if he can take another leap forward in 2024 as a late-round fantasy flier.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Athletics could listen to offers
Jim Bowden of The Athletic speculates that Sears could be a candidate to leave the Athletics via trade before the deadline,
ANALYSIS
Sears has failed to pitch more than five innings in each of his last six starts, going 1-3 with an 8.56 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP over that span, so he isn't exactly setting the world on fire every time he takes the mound. However, Sears has multiple years of team control and could be an appealing trade candidate in the right scenario.
