Up next will be one of the pitchers the club traded at the MLB Trade Deadline. Former high-leverage reliever Lucas Erceg is up for today’s Season In Review.
How Was He Acquired?
The Athletics acquired Erceg for mere cash considerations from the Milwaukee Brewers on May 17th, 2023. He would make his MLB two days later but would go on to pitch in a whopping 50 games as a rookie relief pitcher.
What were the expectations?
Entering his sophomore year the 28-year-old Erceg was one of the top set-up options entering the year.
