Frankie Montas established himself as a big-league starter as a member of the Oakland Athletics
Yesterday the Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-handed starting pitcher Frankie Montas from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for outfielder Joey Wiemer and righty Jakob Junis. One added bonus of this deal, aside from jumping from fourth in the NL Central to first, is that Montas will get one last visit to the Oakland Coliseum in the coming weeks.
Montas holds a 5.01 ERA on the year across 93 1/3 innings, but a trip to the Coliseum, if he is on turn to pitch that series, is almost a guaranteed solid start for Montas. Across six seasons with Oakland which spanned 293 2/3 innings, Montas holds a 3.28 ERA at the Coliseum. All of those innings came as a member of the A's.
When the A's traded away their core group of players ahead of the 2022 season, Montas was not included in that initial off-load. With Matt Olson, Matt Chapman, Chris Bassitt, and Sean Manaea all moved to spearate teams, Montas was the lone member of that core group that stuck around for the first half of the '22 season before ultimately getting traded at the deadline to the New York Yankees.
