The Oakland A’s acquired starting pitcher Mike Minor from the Texas Rangers on Monday, just a few hours ahead of the 2020 MLB trade deadline, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN.
In exchange, the A’s are sending two players to be named later to Texas. That likely means two prospects who are not part of the current 60-man player pool, as such players aren’t technically eligible to be traded until after the season.
Oakland was publicly rumored to be on the lookout for a new starting pitcher at the deadline, and now they’ve done just that.
