Justin Verlander of the Mets picked up career win #350.

rpriske · 10-03-2023, 11:32 AM

Oakland came to us with a trade.

After some back and forth it turned out that the trade they initially offered was worth doing.

To ATHLETICS

Manuel Beltre
T.J. Brock

To BLUE JAYS

Tony Kemp (OAK retains full salary).

Kemp has a slight knee contusion. Nothing to concern us, but we are going to keep him Designated for now, rather than adding him to the roster just yet.
