Former Oakland A's closer Lucas Erceg is now pitching in the postseason for the Kansas City Royals
When the Oakland A's traded for Lucas Erceg from the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023, it was unclear exactly what the Athletics were getting. Erceg had been a position player prospect turned pitcher, and was acquired from the Brewers, a certified pitching factory, for cash. For Milwaukee to trade him for so little was a bit odd.
When the A's didn't seem likely to trade Miller, it was fairly obvious that they may move Erceg instead, given that he had similar team control left and had been in the middle of a solid campaign. He had a 3.68 ERA with Oakland, and after the deal with the Kansas City Royals, he has slid into the closer role himself and tallied a 2.88 ERA with K.C. He's only walked three batters in 25 innings, dropping his WHIP to 0.84 post-trade.
