Oakland Athletics acquire Starling Marte from Miami Marlins for Jesus Luzardo

The Oakland Athletics acquired center fielder Starling Marte from the Miami Marlins in exchange for left-hander Jesus Luzardo on Wednesday.

The Marlins also sent cash considerations to Oakland. The amount of money wasn't disclosed but sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan that Miami sent more than $4 million to Oakland to cover the remainder of Marte's contract.

Marte, 32, is hitting .306 with seven home runs and 25 RBIs and has 22 stolen bases in 25 attempts for the Marlins this season. He missed time this season with a fractured rib.
