Oakland A’s: Elvis Andrus’ $15 million option for 2023 becomes guaranteed if he reaches 550 plate appearances this season
OAKLAND – A’s shortstop Elvis Andrus said he tries not to worry about what he can’t control, and that includes a key clause in his eight-year, $120 million contract that ends this season.
Andrus had 541 plate appearances in 146 games last season, so he needs the 550 PAs this year for the option to take effect. He had 234 plate appearances in 64 games before Thursday when he started at shortstop for the A’s series finale with the Seattle Mariners at the Coliseum. In his last 30 games prior to June 12, Andrus had been batting .290 . His 16 doubles for the season at that time tied him for fourth in the American League.Andrus, 33, had the day off Wednesday when the A’s lost 9-0 to the Mariners, as Nick Allen played shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a strikeout.
The $15 million that Andrus will be owed next season should he reach the 550 plate appearance threshold, though, will have to be paid entirely by the A’s, who slashed team payroll with several cost-cutting personnel moves before the start of the season.
