Athletics trade left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea to the Padres

The San Diego Padres added a starter to their pitching rotation Sunday with a trade to acquire left-hander Sean Manaea from the Oakland Athletics, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB Network.

In addition to Manaea, the Padres will also get relief pitching prospect Aaron Holiday. Oakland will receive a pair of minor league prospects in infielder Euribiel Angeles and pitcher Adrian Martinez.

Manaea, 30, made his major league debut in 2016 and made 128 starts over his six seasons with the Athletics. In 2021, Manaea led the American League in starts with 32 and was one of five pitchers in MLB to have a pair of complete game shutouts. He finished the season with an 11-10 record and a 3.91 ERA.

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Padres have been "seeking starting pitching all spring," despite a strong rotation already in place with Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Joe Musgrove, Mike Clevinger, and Chris Paddack among the current options.

Feinsand says Angeles and Martinez were the Padres' No. 12 and 26 ranked prospects, respectively.
