Mike Fiers was seemingly on the way to making good on his comeback attempt. He had pitched well enough in Mexico to get a look in the Chinese Professional Baseball League, having signed with the Uni-Lions.
Mike Fiers has not given up on his baseball career just yet. He had signed with the Leones de Yucatan following his disastrous 2021 season, hoping to rediscover his form.
When last we had heard from Mike Fiers, the former Oakland A’s pitcher was heading to Mexico. He had signed with the Leones de Yucatan in the Mexican League in an attempt to resurrect his career.
Two former A’s continue their careers internationally A pair of prominent former Oakland A’s are continuing their careers internationally. Slugger Khris Davis and pitcher Mike Fiers have signed to play in the Mexican League for the 2022 season, their new teams announced.
Mike Fiers may best be known as the player who blew the lid off of the Astros trash can scandal, but he has been far more than that. The former Oakland A’s pitcher was a solid back of the rotation arm, someone who could eat up innings and provide generally solid results.
With a decent showing in Mexico, it’s possible Fiers will get another look with a big-league team at some point in the 2022 season.
Both pitchers probably out for the rest of 2021 The Oakland A’s pitching staff got a huge boost on Thursday, as All-Star starter Chris Bassitt was activated from the 10-day injured list.
The Oakland A’s were holding out hope that Mike Fiers would pitch again this year. He had been on the Injured List for the vast majority of the season, dealing with arm issues and pain every time he started to ramp back up.
Also, Chris Bassitt threw a bullpen session! Oakland A’s pitcher Mike Fiers lost most of 2021 to injury, but his season might not be over. The right-hander is making a rehab start Tuesday night for the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators.
With everything that has happened over the course of the 2021 season, and the plethora of injuries that the Oakland A’s have endured, it is easy to forget some of the players still on the roster.
The 35-year-old has by far the most experience of any pitcher in the Athletics farm system.
Mike Fiers has not had a banner 2021 season. He had been sidelined at the start of the season, unable to make his debut until April 30. His season lasted for all of two outings before he was back on the Injured List, this time suffering from a sprained right elbow.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin told reporters that Fiers likely won't throw for at least another four weeks after receiving an injection to help him recover from the sprained right elbow,
Two opposite directions for two injured pitchers The Oakland A’s injured list has dwindled in recent weeks as several players have returned to health, but there are still a couple of notable pitchers out of action.
Mike Fiers was meant to be the fallback option for the Oakland A’s. A dependable innings eater throughout his career, he was supposed to serve as a long reliever, slotting into the rotation should an injury arise.
While no-nos are obviously tremendous accomplishments, the list of pitchers who have thrown one includes some names you wouldn't expect. When it comes to hurlers who have done it more than once, that is understandably not the case.
Mike Fiers is remaining with the Oakland Athletics, who re-signed the right-hander to a one-year, $3.5 million deal.
One has to wonder if Fiers saw any of this coming when he relayed the practices Houston employed while he was a member of the Astros in 2017.
Commissioner Rob Manfred pledged to take "every possible step" to protect Fiers wherever he plays in 2020, but the A's pitcher doesn't think that's necessary.
Ever wonder why SP Mike Fiers spoke out about his former team, the Astros?
