| 4/22/24 | A's Mitch Spence could make Bronx debut after Yankees lost him in Rule 5. There were no hard feelings, but Mitch Spence's initial desire was to remain a Yankee. Spence, a righty starter who steadily rose through the system and had a solid 2023 season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, watched as the organization added pitcher Clayton Beeter and catchers Agustin Ramirez and Carlos Narvaez to the 40-man roster in November. The trio of prospects, then, could not be selected by other teams in the Rule 5 draft. Spence was left unprotected. “I had hoped I would get protected,” Spence said Monday from the visiting clubhouse before his A's beat the Yankees, 2-0. “But obviously, they [have] got to make decisions, and that's just what happened.” Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Source: https://nypost.com/2024/04/22/sports/as-mitch-spen... |

With Mitch Spence (0-1) on the mound and automatic runner Wilyer Abreu on second, Boston's Reese McGuire singled to left, moving Abreu to third. Tyler O'Neill then hit a sharp grounder to Oakland third baseman J.D. Davis, who opted to turn an around-the-horn double play that scored Abreu for the go-ahead run.

| 2/27/24 | [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Why Kotsay compares A's prospect Spence to All-Star Blackburn. As the Athletics move through spring training in preparation for the start of the 2024 MLB season, pitcher Mitch Spence is impressing manager Mark Kotsay. Kotsay recently explained how impressed he has been with Spence so far during spring training, noting that the young right-hander reminds him of All-Star reliever Paul Blackburn. “He’s a kid that reminds me a little bit of like a Paul Blackburn,” Kotsay said Monday (h/t ). “He’s not going to overpower guys. He’s probably more location-based. He’s going to compete for a rotation spot and we’ll probably entertain looking at a long role for him if the rotation doesn’t make sense or if he doesn’t make it.” Blackburn developed from a minor league prospect into one of Oakland’s most reliable bullpen options over the past few years, so the comparison is favorable. Spence has shown durability during his time in the minor leagues as he led all pitchers with 163 innings pitched in 2023 as well as a great mix of pitches, something the A’s are hoping he can parlay into a consistent role coming out of the bullpen. Spence is under some real pressure to make the A’s Opening Day roster as he was taken by Oakland in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft, meaning he must make the big league squad or else his rights revert back to the New York Yankees, who can send him back to the minor leagues if they want. “Either I’m going to be on the big league team or I’m going to get sent back,” Spence explained. “I’m just trying to make the most of my opportunity and focus on what I can control on the mound. Whatever happens, happens. All I’m trying to do is just make their decision as tough as possible.” Spence looked solid in his first spring training appearance vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks, striking out three batters and allowing two hits and one run over two innings of work. The highlight of the outing was undoubtedly his strikeout of All-Star outfielder Lourdes Guriel Jr. via a wicked 89-mph cutter. Much of the conversation surrounding the A’s recently has had more to do with the team’s potential and the uncertainty surrounding where they will play after when their lease at the Oakland Coliseum expires, rather than on the team’s on-field performance. The A’s have lost 100-plus games in back-to-back seasons and are not projected to be in contention in the fierce American League West division. While the team has plenty of other talented in addition to Spence, it faces an uphill battle against the likes of divisional foes such as the Texas Rangers, the defending World Series Champions, and the Houston Astros, a perennial postseason force.

| 12/08/23 | Elephant Rumblings: A's lose three prospects in Rule 5 Draft. The A's got the top pick in the Rule 5 Draft this week, selecting pitcher Mitch Spence at the outset of the Major League phase of the proceedings. From there, they rather uncharacteristically sat out the minor league phase of the draft, resulting in a net loss of prospects on Wednesday. Jason Burke at SI.com noted the A's passivity with puzzlement. There is no such requirement for players taken in the minor league phase.
