The New York Mets have acquired right-handed starting pitcher Paul Blackburn from the Oakland Athletics in a trade that bolsters their pitching rotation.
Blackburn, a 2022 All-Star, has been a key starter for the A's, showcasing his talent with a strong start to the 2024 season.
His arrival comes at a crucial time for the Mets, who are in need of pitching depth with ace Kodai Senga sidelined due to a calf injury.
The Mets also sent pitching prospect Kade Morris to the A's in the trade, marking a significant move for both teams.
