• Jed Lowrie: Doesn't receive qualifying offer

  11/02/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Lowrie did not receive a $17.9 million qualifying offer from the A's before Friday's deadline, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports. Lowrie enjoyed a career year in 2018, hitting .267/.353/.448 with a career-high 23 homers and 99 RBI in 157 games, but the A's weren't willing to pay him $18 million heading into his age-35 season. He'll now hit the open market after earning his first career All-Star selection.

• Athletics' Jed Lowrie: Sharp eye in loss

  09/19/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Lowrie went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday. Lowrie has had a tough month at the plate overall, generating just one extra-base hit (a double) while going 9-for-50. However, his walk rate has remained robust, as the 11 free passes he's drawn have helped his September on-base percentage reach a respectable .328 despite his struggles. While his season average has taken an eight-point tumble as a result of his slump, Lowrie retains an outside chance of reaching the 100-RBI mark for the first time in his long career if he can drive in nine more runs over the Athletics' 11 remaining games.
