According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Oakland A’s have traded right-handed pitcher Lucas Erceg to the Kansas City Royals. Erceg, who was acquired by the A’s from the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023 for cash, transitioned from an infielder to a high-powered reliever.
This season, he has a 2-3 record with a 3.68 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP, and has been serving as the setup man for All-Star Mason Miller in the eighth inning. The return for Erceg has not yet been disclosed, but given that the hard-throwing right-hander is under club control until the 2029 season, it is expected to be substantial.
