Left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins announced his retirement on Tuesday after 13 major league seasons, the majority of that time with the Oakland Athletics and New York Mets. The 37-year-old southpaw last pitched for the Atlanta Braves in 2019, and he had been working at the New York Mets alternate training site after not making the team out of spring training. Blevins was a 17th-round pick by the Chicago Cubs back in 2004 and made his major league debut with the A's in 2007. He had two of his ...

The Oakland Athletics traded relief pitcher Jerry Blevins to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday for cash considerations or a player to be named later. It's a good sign that relief pitcher Lou Trivino (thumb), who has been on the 10-day injured list due to a right thumb injury, might be ready to return for the upcoming road series against the Boston Red Sox. Trivino was able to throw from a mound on Sunday. He was a solid part of Oakland's good bullpen in 2018, and he is a nice setup man in front of [...]

The Oakland Athletics signed relief pitcher Jerry Blevins to a minor-league contract, and if he wins a job in the majors he'll be paid $1.5 million. Blevins made his major league debut with the A's back in 2007, and he appeared in 281 games in relief, posting a 13-6 record with a 3.30 ERA across 267 innings while striking out 239 batters with a [...]

New York Mets relief pitcher Jerry Blevins has cleared revocable trade waivers, according to a source. That means Blevins can be dealt to any team by the deadline this Friday. Blevins could be useful left-handed arm out of the bullpen for a contending club. He has a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 8.7 K/9 in 35 innings this year for the Mets. There's really no fantasy value here, though.

The New York Mets have spoken with several teams regarding relief pitcher Jerry Blevins, who hasn't allowed a run with a .301 opponent's OPS in his last 11 outings. However, nothing appears to be imminent. The Dodgers come to mind as a team that could use some relief help without closer Kenley Jansen (heart). Blevins, a lefty, has a 3.66 ERA, 1.28 [...]

New York Mets relief pitcher Jerry Blevins returned from the Bereavement List on Monday. In the corresponding move, Chris Beck has been designated for assignment. There is not much fantasy news here as Blevins will return to his lefty specialist role.

New York Mets relief pitcher Jerry Blevins has been placed on the bereavement list due to the death of his grandmother. Paul Sewald was called up to the major leagues to take Blevins place as he'll be away from the team for a few days. Sewald holds no fantasy value.

This article references and more! New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway doesn't plan on naming a specific closer in spring training. Relief pitchers Jeurys Familia, AJ Ramos, Anthony Swarzak and Jerry Blevins are all suited for high-leverage situations. "I don't think we're going to name a closer to start the season," Callaway told MLB.com in a telephone interview. "If there are three left-handers coming up in a row, we can use Blevins.

Arizona Diamondbacks star outfielder A.J. Pollock will take another step in his rehab from a groin strain on Friday.
