HOUSTON -- A's left fielder Coco Crisp has been traded to the Indians, the team he began his Major League career with in 2002.
The deal was announced on Wednesday, with the A's receiving Minor League left-hander Colt Hynes in return.
Crisp, who was the longest-tenured player on the A's roster, was not in the starting lineup on Tuesday for Oakland's 3-1 loss to the Astros, and shortstop Marcus Semien took his place in the leadoff spot. A 15-year veteran, Crisp had been with the A's since 2010.
"Sad to see him go," A's right fielder Danny Valencia said.
