2024 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired from the Yankees in August of 2022 as part of the Frankie Montas trade, Sears led the Oakland clubhouse in innings last year by a significant margin and was the only A's pitcher trusted to make more than 22 starts. That isn't saying much given the company he kept in what was the worst rotation in the American League, but Sears averaged nearly a strikeout per inning and would seem to have the arsenal to generate even more swing-and-misses moving forward. His four-seamer, slider and changeup all rated as better-than-average offerings in 2023, and his sweeper had a whiff rate of 30.0 percent. Somewhat surprisingly, it was left-handed hitters who did the most damage against him, even as a southpaw. Call that an aberration and see if he can take another leap forward in 2024 as a late-round fantasy flier. Read Past Outlooks

Yields four runs
Sears (4-4) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings Friday, striking out five and taking a loss against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Sears allowed three runs through two innings but settled in to give Oakland a decent outing. It wasn't enough, as the A's were limited to two runs in the loss. Sears has given up four runs in three of his last five starts, resulting in a 4.18 ERA during that span. He generated 14 whiffs Friday, his best total since recording a season-high 16 on April 27. Sears now owns a 4.01 ERA and a 45:19 K:BB through 67.1 innings. His next start is projected to be at home against the Mariners.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Building trade candidacy?
Sears could be a viable, low-cost pitching depth acquisition on the trade market, notes Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Sears has logged a 3.14 ERA across 10 starts in May and June thus far. The 27-year-old has been plagued by the long ball, giving up 18 home runs across 15 total starts, but he could still generate a return for Oakland if the pitching market runs dry. With his strong production of late, keeping Sears is an option for the Athletics as well, making him a name to monitor closer to the deadline.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sears came into 2022 near the back end of the Yankees top 30 prospect and finished it as one of the pieces sent to Oakland in the Frankie Montas trade. Sears had worked as a starter throughout his minor league career as a strike-thrower whose command makes his stuff look better than it really is to get batters out. The league had little trouble with his fastball (.318 BA, .298 xBA), but his slider was rather unhittable as the league hit .130 off the pitch while swinging and missing at it one third of the time. The lack of velocity limits the fantasy upside Sears brings to the table as much as pitching for a terrible Oakland club does to him. His fantasy value would be tied up in his ability to get wins with good ratios, and all three of those areas are tough to project for this still-developing sophomore.
