The Oakland Athletics have secured their pitching staff for the upcoming season, avoiding arbitration with Luis Medina and Ken Waldichuk. Medina, a right-hander, and Waldichuk, a left-hander, both agreed to one-year contracts, with Medina earning $835,000 and Waldichuk $825,000. The team also released outfielder J.J. Bleday, who had a batting average of .212 with 14 home runs and 39 RBIs this year. Both Medina and Waldichuk are recovering from Tommy John surgeries and will be key players in the As next season.
