Happy Friday everyone! To finish off the work week we got another 2025 Season Review for you guys today. Looking back on left-hander Ben Bowden’s first season in the Athletics’ organization one can’t help but think he’s got something to offer this club in the upcoming 2026 season.
The Athletics could use some left-handed options in the bullpen heading into the 2026 season, and while we have suggested this option from the St. Louis Cardinals, or this one from the San Francisco Giants, the A's could be sticking with more familiar faces this winter.
The Athletics announced today that they have selected the contract of left-hander Ben Bowden. Fellow lefty Hogan Harris has been optioned as the corresponding active roster move.
The new MLB season brings opportunities as players head into their walk years and try to rebound from subpar performances. These 25 players stand out heading into 2026.
The A’s have signed left-hander Ben Bowden to a minor league deal, according to the transactions tracker on Bowden’s MLB.com profile page. Bowden, 30, was a second-round pick by the Rockies in the 2016 draft.
The Athletics keep adding arms this winter. Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs have been the two big additions for the club, but they have also been sneakily adding to their depth all winter, with the latest addition being lefty reliever Ben Bowden, who was most recently in the Atlanta Braves system.
