A'S ADD ADAMS
The Oakland Athletics acquired pitcher Austin Adams from the New York Mets for cash.
What does it give the Oakland Athletics
Adams should have a better opportunity in Oakland's bullpen than with the Mets, especially after Trevor Gott's season-ending injury. The A's could use any depth at this point.
What does it give the New York Mets
The Mets had just sent Adams down to minor-league camp before this trade occurred, which signals that he was not in their plans for the upcoming campaign.
Fantasy impact
In his earlier years, Adams pitched in high-leverage situations. He has not been able to find that type of form since. On a weak Oakland team, he offers very little fantasy value.
