The Dodgers acquired Rich Hill and Josh Reddick from the Oakland Athletics for three pitchers:
The Dodgers acquired starting pitcher Rich Hill and outfielder Josh Reddick from Oakland on Monday for a package of young pitchers Grant Holmes, Frankie Montas and Jharel Cotton, ranked fifth, eighth and 13th in the Dodgers’ system by MLBPipeline.com, according to a baseball source.
At seasonal age 36, Hill is having a great season, posting a 2.25 ERA in 76 innings with a very high strikeout rate. Reddick is getting on base way above his career .317 average. The Athletics were certainly selling high here. The three pitchers they received all strike out batters at a high rate and are pretty good at preventing home runs. Each might walk a few too many batters. All in all, Oakland did a good job of restocking their young pitching talent by trading two overachieving players.
