After the A’s traded pitcher Chris Bassitt, it was reported that both Manaea and fellow starter Frankie Montas could be traded as well.
In exchange for Manaea, Oakland receives 19-year-old infielder Euribiel Angeles and 25-year-old pitcher Adrian Martinez, San Diego’s 12th and 26th overall prospects respectively.
Manaea has been a staple of the A’s rotation now for six seasons, posting a career 50-41 record with a 3.86 ERA in 727 innings.

The 30-year-old certainly left his mark on the organization. His tenure with the team was highlighted by his workhorse mentality on the mound, which resulted in a no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox on April 21, 2018.
As of right now, Montas is slated to be Oakland’s lone ace unless traded before or soon after Opening Day.
