Chad Pinder is the Oakland Athletics' only impending free agent. He's making $2.725 million this season. The A's released veterans Elvis Andrus and Stephen Piscotty in August. Piner is a career-worst 85 OPS+. He also has a sprained neck ligament from an outfield collision in May. He gained a reputation as a strong if understated clubhouse influence. Bob Melvin thinks he could be a future manager.
