The Athletics released Floro on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Floro has struggled this season at Triple-A Las Vegas, posting a 7.04 ERA and 12:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings. The 34-year-old held a 3.80 ERA and 48:17 K:BB across 68.2 frames in 2024 between the Nationals and Diamondbacks and should get another chance elsewhere, but he'll likely have to spend more time in the minors first.

The Athletics reassigned Floro to minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Floro was a free agent for most of the offseason before coming to an agreement on a minor-league contract with the Athletics in late February. Though he's an experienced reliever who made 66 appearances at the big-league level between the Nationals and Diamondbacks in 2024, Floro never made a serious run at a spot in the Athletics' Opening Day bullpen. Floro didn't make any appearances in the Cactus League, though manager Mark Kotsay had previously suggested that the right-hander's absence from the pitching schedule wasn't the result of any injury. Instead, Floro may have just been behind schedule in his throwing progression and was in need of an extended ramp-up period, so the Athletics could have him open the season at Triple-A Las Vegas and evaluate him for a promotion to the big leagues once he gets a few appearances under his belt.

Manager Mark Kotsay said Friday that Floro doesn't feel like he's ready to face hitters yet, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floro being behind schedule in camp doesn't seem to stem from any injury. Instead, it's likely a consequence of not signing a minor-league deal with the A's until last week. The 34-year-old righty will continue to throw bullpens for the time being, and there's no telling how far away he is from getting into some Cactus League games.

The Athletics signed Floro to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floro had a 2.06 ERA and 40:13 K:BB over 52.1 innings for Washington last season before struggling after a trade to Arizona, where he held a 9.37 ERA in 15 appearances before being released. The veteran reliever could fill a middle relief role with the A's.

The Diamondbacks released Floro on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Floro was removed from the 40-man roster Sunday and is now a free agent after passing through waivers unclaimed. The veteran reliever held a 9.37 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings with the Diamondbacks after being acquired at the trade deadline.

The Diamondbacks designated Floro for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was acquired from the Nationals at the summer trade deadline, but he struggled to a 9.37 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings with the Diamondbacks. Floro could elect to become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed, but he won't be eligible for the playoffs with a new team.

Floro was traded from the Nationals to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for Andres Chaparro, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old righty had a 2.06 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 52.1 innings with the Nationals. While Floro has 32 career saves, he should assume a mid-leverage role with his new team.

Floro (3-3) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing a solo home run over 1.1 innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander got the final out of the seventh inning and worked a 1-2-3 eighth, but when manager Dave Martinez asked Floro to come back out for the ninth in a 3-3 tie, he served up a walk-off blast to Paul Goldschmidt. It's the first homer Floro has served up all year, and he's on track for one of the best seasons of his career with a 2.06 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 52.1 innings. That could earn the pending free agent a trade to a contender at the deadline, but if he stays put and Kyle Finnegan gets dealt instead, Floro might get a chance to close for Washington down the stretch.

Floro (2-1) gave up a hit in a scoreless sixth inning Friday to record the win over the Rockies. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old righty continues to give the Nationals solid innings in a high-leverage role. Floro has been scored upon just twice in his last 12 appearances, posting a 2.70 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB through 10 innings over that stretch with three holds in addition to Friday's win.

Floro worked a scoreless two-thirds of an inning Wednesday to record his sixth hold of the season in a win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander saw a 20-appearance scoreless streak end May 26 against the Mariners, but Floro has overall been a key part of the Nationals' bullpen this season. Through 27 innings, he sports a 1.00 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB, and he's been the team's most reliable reliever behind the high-leverage duo of Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey.
