The Oakland A’s just doubled down on their 2021 season.
The A’s made a trade with the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, with Oakland acquiring outfielder Starling Marte and cash in exchange for pitcher Jesús Luzardo. The deal has been officially announced by the team, but was first reported by Craig Mish of the Miami Herald, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, and insider Jon Heyman.
This is a significant move, both in how it strengthens the A’s roster but also in terms of the cost.
The benefit is clear.
