Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports

The Oakland Athletics acquired right-hander Austin Adams from the New York Mets on Sunday for cash considerations.

The Athletics selected Adams to their 40-man roster and placed right-hander Trevor Gott on the 60-day injured list. Gott is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the entire season and part of 2025, MLB.com reported Friday.

Adams, 32, went 0-1 with a 5.71 ERA in 24 relief appearances last season with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He signed as a free agent with the Mets on Nov. 30.

Adams is 6-5 with a 4.17 ERA in 132 appearances (two starts) with the Washington Nationals (2017-19), Seattle Mariners (2019), San Diego Padres (2020-22) and the Diamondbacks (2023).

Gott, 31, signed a one-year deal worth $1.5 million with the Athletics in December.

He went 0-5 with a 4.19 ERA in 64 relief appearances with the Mariners and the Mets in 2023. New York acquired Gott from the Mariners in July.

Gott is 16-15 with a 4.65 ERA in 255 career relief appearances with six teams.
