2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sterner will pitch in middle relief after he was claimed by the A's off waivers from the Rays in the offseason. Sterner had strong strikeout rates in the minors with a 31.4% K% at Triple-A last season. He's been prone to giving up home runs (1.36 HR/9 at Triple-A) and doesn't have great velocity. His upside may also be limited at age 28. Still, he could be a productive reliever for a team desperate for bullpen arms. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2025.
