Luis Severino's decision on his $22 million player option with the Athletics is due five days after the World Series concludes. Severino's projected market value for 2027 is only $9.26 million. After a challenging 2026 season marred by injury, he may find the guaranteed money appealing, especially given potential changes in the free-agent following a rumored lockout. Severino's past dissatisfaction with pitching in Sacramento could influence his choice as well.
