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.
