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
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2025.
Punches out seven in no-decision
Sears allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Texas on Wednesday.
Analysis
Sears served up a solo homer to Corey Seager in the third inning, but that was the only run the Rangers managed against him. The southpaw notched a solid 13 whiffs and seven punchouts, though he was pulled after five innings despite having thrown a modest 82 pitches. This was a nice turnaround for Sears after he surrendered six earned runs across four frames in his previous start. He's lined up for a home matchup against the Mariners early next week.

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
Could be dealt
The Athletics will listen to trade offers for Sears ahead of the July 31 deadline, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Analysis
Sears will enter his first year of arbitration eligibility after this season and is under team control through the 2028 campaign, so the A's likely won't part with him lightly. The left-hander has an underwhelming 4.98 ERA and 7.7 K/9 through 21 starts this season, though his 2.2 BB/9 and 1.25 WHIP provide a more optimistic lens on his performance.
