2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Athletics poached Murdock in this offseason's Rule 5 draft and he's likely ticketed for low-leverage relief work. A 26-year-old righty reliever originally from the Royals organization, Murdock has logged groundball rates over 55 percent at his three most recent stops thanks to a quality sinker. He posted a 3.76 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 46:26 K:BB and 62.1 percent groundball rate in 38.1 innings at Triple-A last season. Murdock will need to remain in the big leagues all season, otherwise the A's would need to return him to the Royals. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2025. Returned to the Royals in May of 2025.
Returned to Kansas City
The Athletics returned Murdock to the Royals on Monday.
Analysis
Murdock was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Friday, and as a Rule 5 draft pick, he had to be offered back to his original organization in Kansas city once he cleared waivers. The 26-year-old righty struggled mightily over his 14 relief appearances for the Athletics this season, accruing a 13.24 ERA and 2.71 WHIP with a 21:20 K:BB across 17 innings. He'll likely report to the Royals' Triple-A affiliate in Omaha.
