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 contract with the Royals in June of 2019. Selected by the Athletics in the 2024 Rule 5 Draft in December of 2024.
Secures roster spot
PSacramento Athletics
March 17, 2025
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay informed Murdock on Monday that he's made the Opening Day roster, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A Rule 5 selection from the Royals over the winter, Murdock earned a spot on the 26-man roster by allowing just three runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 7.2 Cactus League innings. The tall right-hander should operate in low-leverage relief situations for the Athletics initially.
