Overview
- Reports published Saturday, July 25, 2026 say Dallas Keuchel agreed to a minor‑league contract with the Oakland A’s and will report to their Triple‑A team in Las Vegas.
- Keuchel is mounting a comeback at 38 after not pitching in the majors since 2024 and will use the Triple‑A route many veterans take to try to return to the big leagues.
- At his peak Keuchel won the 2015 AL Cy Young, took five Gold Gloves and helped the Astros win the 2017 World Series, and he owns a 13‑season MLB record of 103‑92 with a 4.04 ERA.
- He has shown some recent competence in the minors, posting a 3.53 ERA last season for Triple‑A Omaha, but his big‑league results declined after 2020 and he was released in August 2025.
- Oakland made the low‑cost signing because it has lost starters J.T. Ginn and Luis Severino to injury and ranks near the bottom of MLB in team ERA, so Keuchel could provide experienced innings and a possible short‑term call‑up if he performs well.
