A's trade Manaea to Padres for prospects
The Oakland Athletics traded left-hander Sean Manaea and right-hander Aaron Holiday to the San Diego Padres in exchange for infielder Euribiel Angeles and right-hander Adrian Martinez.
Manaea joins a Padres rotation that already includes Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Joe Musgrove, Mike Clevinger, and Chris Paddack.
He started against his old club in a spring training matchup Sunday, allowing one run over 3 2/3 innings.
The 30-year-old pitched with the Athletics for his entire big-league career after they acquired him in a trade with the Kansas City Royals in 2015.
Manaea owns a 50-41 record with a 3.86 ERA and 3.96 FIP in 727 career innings, and he threw a no-hitter in 2018.
The southpaw will earn $9.75 million this year and is set to become a free agent when the season ends.
The A's drafted Holiday in the 13th round in 2021. The 21-year-old reliever struck out eight hitters in 5 2/3 minor-league innings last season after a solid collegiate career at Old Dominion.
Angeles, 19, heads to Oakland after a promising start to his minor-league career in 2021. The Dominican native slashed .330/.392/.445 with 64 RBIs and 19 steals across two levels. He was the Padres' No. 12-ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.
Martinez is a 25-year-old starting pitcher from Mexico who's been with the Padres organization since 2015. He authored an 8-5 record with a 3.38 ERA and 8.8 K/9 in the minors last season. MLB Pipeline ranked him 26th among San Diego's prospects.
The A's are currently in rebuild mode, also dealing pitcher Chris Bassitt, first baseman Matt Olson, and third baseman Matt Chapman in the offseason.
