Free-agent starter Brett Anderson has reached an agreement on a one-year major league contract with the Oakland Athletics, a source familiar with the deal confirmed to ESPN.



The deal, which is pending a physical Wednesday, was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.



The contract has a $1.5 million base salary and includes $1 million in possible performance bonuses, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney.



Anderson pitched big innings for Oakland last year, going 4-5 in 17 starts with a 4.48 ERA, and is in line for a rotation spot this season.



The 31-year-old, who played for the A's from 2009 to 2013 before returning last year, stuck out 47 batters while walking 13 in 80.1 innings in 2018.
