OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – The Oakland Athletics traded right fielder Josh Reddick and left-hander Rich Hill to the contending Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday for a trio of pitching prospects.
The deal was announced two hours before the deadline for completing trades without waivers.
The A’s received minor leaguers Jharel Cotton and Grant Holmes, along with Frankie Montas, who made seven appearances with the White Sox last year.
Hill, who signed a $6 million, one-year contract with Oakland during the offseason, is on the disabled list with a pesky blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand that hasn’t healed. He had been scheduled to pitch Sunday in Cleveland before the DL stint.
