The San Diego Padres ironed out their starting rotation by acquiring left-hander Sean Manaea in a trade with the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.
San Diego received the 30-year-old pitcher along with Aaron Holiday, a minor league right-hander, in exchange for Mexican pitcher Adrián Martínez and Dominican infielder Euribiel Angeles.
Manaea is coming off a 32-start season in which he went 11-10 with a 3.91 ERA. He had a pair of shutouts and set a career high with 194 strikeouts, eighth in the American League.

In six seasons in the majors, he is 50-41 with a 3.86 ERA and 641 strikeouts in 129 games, including 128 starts.
Precisely, last month he agreed to an agreement for one year and 9.75 million to avoid salary arbitration.
