A'S TRADE BLACKBURN TO METS FOR RIGHT-HANDED PITCHING PROSPECT




The Athletics continue to trade key members of their pitching staff. After dealing setup man Lucas Erceg to the Kansas City Royals, Oakland made another move before Tuesday's 3 p.m. PT MLB trade deadline. The A's traded right-handed starting pitcher Paul Blackburn to the New York Mets in exchange for right-handed pitcher Kade Morris.

Morris is a 22-year-old starting pitcher who played for New York's Single-A and High-A affiliates in 2024. In 18 appearances (16 starts), Morris posted a 3.51 ERA with 95 strikeouts to 30 walks in 92 1/3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, the A's are losing Blackburn, who at times in recent years has been the ace of Oakland's staff and even was selected to the MLB All-Star team in 2022 after a stellar first half for the Green and Gold.
