Gott, aged 31, had signed a $1.5 million contract with the Athletics in December and was anticipated to play a role in the team’s bullpen. However, he struggled during spring training, allowing eight runs in four appearances, with his last outing on March 16.
Throughout his career, Gott has amassed a record of 16-15 with a 4.65 ERA across 255 relief appearances for various teams including the Los Angeles Angels (2015), Washington Nationals (2016-2018), San Francisco Giants (2019-2020), Milwaukee Brewers (2022), Seattle Mariners (2023), and the New York Mets.
