Player Outlook
A 31-year-old journeyman who has pitched for three teams over the past two seasons, Trevor Gott signed a one-year contract with Oakland this offseason. The right-hander's career numbers aren't impressive, but he projects to fill a high-leverage role in the A's patchwork bullpen with possible closing opportunities in 2024. Gott is only 6-for-17 in save chances throughout his career, but he's picked up double-digit holds in each of the past two seasons. Since adding an effective cutter and sinker to his arsenal in 2022, Gott has improved his hard-hit and barrel percentages, but his career 21 percent strikeout rate leaves a lot to be desired. He also had more meltdowns (18) than shutdowns (13) last year, which speaks to inconsistency. Gott was given an opportunity to close while with the Giants in 2020 and was removed from the role after a few short weeks. Don't expect double-digit saves, as there are closer candidates in Oakland with much higher upside.

  • Athletics' Trevor Gott: Inconsistent this spring

    Gott has allowed three earned runs on four hits and a walk while also recording three strikeouts over three innings in three Cactus League appearances. The third time was the charm for Gott this spring, as he was able to pitch a clean inning with two strikeouts against the Diamondbacks on Monday after surrendering three earned runs over his first pair of turns. Despite the struggles, Gott could be utilized in some high-leverage spots this season, although Mason Miller and Dany Jimenez project to be the top options for ninth-inning work.

  • Athletics' Trevor Gott: Could vie for save chances

    Gott is viewed by general manager David Forst as a potential candidate for save chances this coming season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Forst notes the team and Gott had discussed the right-handed journeyman getting closing opportunities when he signed a one-year deal in December. The 31-year-old is just 6-for-17 in save chances during a big-league career that dates back to 2015, but he does have 255 regular-season appearances on his resume and boasts a mid-90s fastball. Forst added that Dany Jimenez and Mason Miller are also firmly in the mix for the closer's role, and he didn't rule out the possibility of another free-agent signing before the start of the campaign.

  • Athletics' Trevor Gott: Lands with Oakland

    Gott signed a one-year contract Friday with the Athletics, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Gott registered a decent 4.19 ERA and 62:19 K:BB in 58 innings of relief last season between the Mariners and Mets while holding right-handed batters to a .222/.280/.306 slash line. The 31-year-old is now with his seventh different MLB team and projects to fill a high-leverage role in Oakland's patchwork bullpen.

  • Trevor Gott: Becomes free agent

    Gott became a free agent Friday after being non-tendered by the Mets. Gott posted a 4.19 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 62:19 K:BB in 58 innings of relief this past season between Seattle and New York. He had been projected to command around $2 million for 2024 via salary arbitration.

  • Mets' Trevor Gott: Blows save Monday

    Gott (0-1) blew the save and took the loss Monday against Texas. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three over one inning. Tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth due to Adam Ottavino having pitched the prior two days, Gott immediately found himself in trouble after surrendering a pair of hits to open the frame. The right-hander would manage to strike out Leody Taveras and Marcus Semien before Nathaniel Lowe drove in two runs with a two-out single. Gott's now given up six runs over his last 1.2 innings, raising his ERA to 4.82 with a 1.52 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB across 46.2 innings between the Mets and Mariners this season. While New York's lack of bullpen options could keep Gott in a high-leverage role, fantasy managers would be best served looking for saves elsewhere.

  • Mets' Trevor Gott: Notches first save

    Gott gave up two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Thursday to record his first save of the season in a win over the Cardinals. With Adam Ottavino and Brooks Raley both having worked three of the prior four days, manager Buck Showalter had to get creative at the end of a 4-2 game, and Gott received the call in the ninth. The right-hander made things interesting by giving up a couple singles, but he then struck out Paul Goldschmidt to end the night. Drew Smith was needed in the seventh to get out of a jam with two on and nobody out, suggesting he's still viewed as the higher-leverage option, but Gott has earned his place in the late-inning mix with a 12-appearance scoreless streak during which he's posted a 12:3 K:BB through 11.1 innings.

  • Mets' Trevor Gott: Dealt to New York

    Gott and right-hander Chris Flexen were traded to the Mets from the Mariners in exchange for southpaw Zach Muckenhirn on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Gott will head to New York as the Mets look to bolster their bullpen. The 30-year-old has produced a 4.03 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 32 strikeouts over 29 innings in 30 appearances with the Mariners this season and will likely operate in a middle-relief role with his new squad.

  • Mariners' Trevor Gott: Takes third loss Tuesday

    Gott (0-3) took the extra-innings loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk across one inning. Tasked with preserving a 4-4 tie when he entered in the 11th inning, Gott, who'd been activated from the injured list prior to Tuesday's game, nearly escaped unscathed but allowed a two-out, two-run double to Lane Thomas and an RBI single to Luis Garcia. Those three runs proved the difference in the game, handing the righty a loss. He also conceded five earned runs on four hits over one inning against the Rangers on June 4 in his last outing before going on the IL, and with that, Gott has seen what was once a 1.75 ERA quickly balloon to 3.90.

  • Mariners' Trevor Gott: Placed on injured list

    The Mariners placed Gott on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with lower back spasms. Gott was hit hard in his last appearance, allowing five runs on four hits and a walk in just one inning of work. A trip to the injured list will ensure that the 30-year-old reliever is feeling 100 percent during his next time on the mound. Gott currently holds a 3.38 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 31 strikeouts through 26.2 frames out of the bullpen.

  • Mariners' Trevor Gott: Stumbles again Saturday

    Gott (0-2) took the loss in extra innings against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing an unearned run on two hits and a walk without retiring a batter. Called on in a tie game for the second time in as many days, Gott once again faltered. Saturday, his troubles began immediately when he allowed a Vladimir Guerrero single that advanced inning-opening runner Bo Bichette to third base and then surrendered a game-winning single to Daulton Varsho after intentionally walking Matt Chapman. After opening the season with five straight scoreless appearances, Gott has now surrendered at least an unearned run in five of his subsequent eight outings.

  • Mariners' Trevor Gott: Takes loss Friday

    Gott (0-1) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing an earned run on two hits and a hit batsman over one inning. He struck out one. The veteran right-hander saw a streak of four appearances without allowing an earned run snapped when he surrendered a go-ahead single to George Springer in the sixth inning that would prove to be the difference in the game. Friday's stumble notwithstanding, Gott has been a relatively effective asset out of the bullpen in his first Mariners season, posting five holds alongside a 2.57 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 14 innings over 13 appearances.

  • Mariners' Trevor Gott: Mixed results in spring

    Gott has a 2-0 record, 6.35 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 5.2 innings over six Cactus League appearances. Gott has actually been much more effective than his ERA and WHIP would indicate, as the bloated figures are essentially the byproduct of one poor outing against the Guardians on Feb. 28. The veteran right-hander allowed four earned runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning, but he has otherwise fired five scoreless frames during which he's conceded four hits while recording three strikeouts. Gott is expected to be a key middle-innings asset for manager Scott Servais after posting 11 holds alongside a 4.14 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 45 appearances for the Brewers in 2022.

  • Mariners' Trevor Gott: Latches on with Seattle

    Gott signed a one-year contract with the Mariners on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Gott will head to the West Coast after spending the 2022 campaign with Milwaukee. He served as one of the Brewers' most dependable arms during the 2022 season, finishing with a 4.14 ERA and 1.03 WHIP to go with a 44:12 K:BB across 45.2 innings. Gott is a much-needed addition for the Mariners, who have little veteran experience in the bullpen outside of Paul Sewald, Andrew Munoz and Diego Castillo.

  • Brewers' Trevor Gott: Reinstated from injured list

    Gott (forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Gott sustained a right forearm strain in mid-August but was cleared to resume throwing later in the month. He spent the last week and a half on a rehab assignment and struck out five in 3.2 scoreless innings over three minor-league appearances. It's possible the right-hander serves as an occasional setup man down the stretch.

  • Brewers' Trevor Gott: Rehab assignment on tap

    Gott (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin on Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Gott landed on the injured list with a right forearm strain just under a month ago, but he resumed throwing in late August. He's expected to make just one appearance at Wisconsin prior to reporting to Nashville, and it's possible that he'll be cleared to return by next weekend.

  • Brewers' Trevor Gott: Resumes throwing

    Gott (forearm) started playing catch Friday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. Gott has been out for just over two weeks with a right forearm strain, but he's taking steps in the right direction. It's unclear if he'll require a rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list.

  • Brewers' Trevor Gott: Lands on injured list

    Gott was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain Saturday, retroactive to Aug. 11. Gott spent time on the injured list with a groin injury earlier in the year, but he's now dealing with a forearm issue that will force him to miss at least two more weeks. He'll be eligible to return in late August, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to rejoin the Brewers. Peter Strzelecki was recalled to take Gott's place in the bullpen.

  • Brewers' Trevor Gott: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday

    Gott (groin) will report to High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment. Gott was placed on the 15-day injured list June 7 with a right groin strain but looks as though he could be ready to rejoin the Brewers shortly after a minimum-length stay on the shelf. Prior to being deactivated, he appeared in 22 games of the bullpen and submitted a 3.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB across 21 innings.

  • Brewers' Trevor Gott: Placed on 15-day injured list

    Gott was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain Tuesday, retroactive to June 6. Gott dealt with a quad issue in early May, and he'll now be forced to spend time on the injured list due to a groin strain. It's not yet clear how much time the right-hander is expected to miss, but Tuesday's move made room on the active roster for Hunter Renfroe, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Gott posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in five innings over his last five outings.

  • Brewers' Trevor Gott: Clear of quad issue

    Gott has recovered from the quadriceps injury that bothered him earlier this week, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Gott was unavailable due to the injury Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's apparently good to go coming off Milwaukee's scheduled day off Thursday. Gott has four holds and a 1.64 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 15:1 K:BB across 11 innings this season.
