NBC SportsAthletics acquired LHP Jeffrey Springs and LHP Jacob Lopez from the Rays for RHP Joe Boyle, 1B Will Simpson, RHP Jacob Watters and a 2025 competitive balance round A pick.

If Springs can get healthy and stay that way, this will likely turn out to be a steal for the A's. Still, this is a 32-year-old with career-high inning totals of 135 in 2022 and 112 in 2017. He's never been over 85 innings otherwise. Upon returning from Tommy John last summer, had a 3.27 ERA in seven starts and then went back on the IL with elbow fatigue. His fantasy stock definitely takes a hit with the organization change here, though he figures to be worth using in mixed leagues while healthy. He'll slot into an A's rotation set to include Luis Severino and JP Sears. Mitch Spence and Osvaldo Bido seem like the favorites for the last two spots, with Joey Estes, J.T. Ginn and Lopez also in the mix.
