Brett Anderson wants to return to A's in 2020 if spot is available

Brett Anderson was sitting in front of his locker next to Mark Canha, who was surrounded by the media scrum after Wednesday night's devastating AL Wild Card loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

The A's starter took to Twitter following the game to give thanks to the team he called the "most fun" he's had with a group throughout the entirety of his career. And after 11 years in the league, that's a hell of a compliment.

The early conclusion to the season brought about questions as to whether or not the lefty veteran would re-sign with the A's. The San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reported Anderson wants to return to the Green and Gold in 2020, but with the future of the pitching staff looking bright, he's unsure how that would come to fruition:

The 31-year-old finished the 2019 season with a 3.89 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 176 innings pitched.

With Jesús Luzardo, Sean Manaea and A.J. Puk making their way into the rotation, the A's future on the mound is brimming with talent. But for now, Anderson is happy with what he contributed to Oakland in 2019, and we're pretty confident the team is as well.
