Athletics acquired RHP Christian Fernandez and OF Cal Stevenson from the Rays for C/INF Christian Bethancourt.
Fernandez has put together a strong 2022 campaign at Single-A Charleston, posting a 2.79 Era, 1.16 WHIP and 87/25 K/BB ratio across 58 innings (16 appearances, eight starts). The 22-year-old righty represents a long-term lottery ticket for the rebuilding Athletics.
