==Baseball career==
Line 60 ⟶ 61:
Cahill came into the 2010 season as a starter for the A's, quickly becoming one of the breakout pitchers of the year. He put up borderline Cy Young Award-worthy statistics, finishing the season with an 18–8 record and an ERA of 2.97, making it into the Top 5 of lowest ERA in the American League, behind [[Félix Hernández]], [[Clay Buchholz]], and [[David Price (baseball)|David Price]], all three considered among best pitchers in the American League. His [[Walks plus hits per inning pitched|WHIP]] was also in the Top 5, with 1.11 WHIP.
In April 2011, after only two years in the majors, Cahill signed a five-year contract worth $30.5 million.<ref>{{cite web |title=Trevor Cahill to Diamondbacks |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/7336925/arizona-diamondbacks-acquire-trevor-cahill-oakland-athletics-five-player-deal |website=ESPN.com |date=December 10, 2011 |access-date=12 March 2021}}</ref> As of 2021, this contract accounted for well over half of his career earnings.
For the 2011 season, high expectations were set for Cahill. Cahill began the season as the A's #1 starter. Cahill did not replicate his 2010 performance, despite logging in 207 innings in 34 starts. Cahill finished 12–14 with a 4.16 ERA for Oakland.

He pitched more than 200 innings for the second straight year and struck out a career high 156 batters.
In 2013, through 17 starts, Cahill was 3–10 with a 4.66 ERA. After his 17th start, Cahill was put on the disabled list for the first time in his career.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2013/7/11/4516436/trevor-cahill-injury-diamondbacks-hip-shoulder |title=Trevor Cahill injury: Diamondbacks RHP could be out until August |author=Spencer Schneier |publisher=Vox Media |work=SBNation.com |date=July 11, 2013 |access-date=July 17, 2015}}</ref> Cahill missed more than a month due to a hip contusion.
