The Oakland Athletics are signing free agent reliever Jeurys Familia to a one-year deal, bringing back an old friend and adding depth to the bullpen just five days away from Opening Day.

This’ll be Familia’s second stint with the A’s. Oakland originally traded for the right-handed closer from the Mets way back in the summer of 2018, and he slid right into a setup role for Oakland’s then-closer Blake Treinan for the rest of the season. He pitched well for the Green & Gold that year, throwing to a 3.45 ERA with 40 strikeouts in just 31 1⁄3 innings.
