OAKLAND, Calif -- The Oakland Athletics on Monday agreed to terms with free-agent infielder Mike Blowers and pitcher Mike Mohler.
Blowers, who hit .293 with five home runs and 20 RBI last season with the Seattle Mariners, was signed to a one year contract. Terms of the deal were not released.
In nine major league seasons with the New York Yankees, Seattle and Los Angeles, Blowers hit .262 with 65 home runs and 287 RBI.
"Mike is a proven option at third base and provides right-handed power in the middle of our lineup," said Billy Beane, A's general manager.
Mohler, who was 1-10 with the 5.13 ERA last season for the A's, was signed to a one-year deal worth $525,000.
The left-hander was one of four players on the A's roster eligible for arbitration. The three others are pitchers Bill Taylor and Buddy Groom and infielder Rafael Bournigal.
Mohler, 29, was 0-7 with a 6.83 ERA in 10 starts last season before moving to the bullpen at the end of May.
In 52 relief appearances, Mohler is 1-3 with a save and a 3.21 ERA.
