Ross Stripling Dealt To A's
10 months agoThe San Francisco Giants have traded pitcher Ross Stripling to the Oakland A's in exchange for infielder/outfielder Jonah Cox. The veteran right-hander authored a 5.36 ERA across 22 outings (11 starts) with the Giants in the 2023 season but also tossed a 3.01 ERA across 32 appearances (24 starts) with the Blue Jays as recently as the 2022 campaign. Stripling's biggest asset is his control as he has walked just 5.5% of the batters he has faced in his big-league career despite punching out only 21.9% of the batters he has faced. All told, the 34-year-old owns a 3.96 ERA across 226 MLB outings (115 starts) in stints with the Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Giants.
