San Diego Padres acquire LHP Sean Manaea in trade with rebuilding (aka cheap-ass) Oakland A's
In return, Oakland is getting right-hander Adrian Martinez and infielder Euribiel Angeles. San Diego also got right-hander Aaron Holiday in the deal.
Manaea, 30, went 11-10 with a 3.91 ERA in 32 starts last season for the A's. He now joins one of the deepest rotations in the majors as the Padres feature Opening Day starter Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, Blake Snell, Mike Clevinger and Nick Martinez. Right-hander Chris Paddack is on the injured list with an oblique injury.
SNIP
For Oakland, the deal continues an offseason teardown that has seen the A's send first baseman Matt Olson to Atlanta, third baseman Matt Chapman to Toronto and right-hander Chris Bassitt to the Mets.

Give me ONE REASON why I should pay money to watch this team play (aside from wanting to see their opponents).
At least small markets Milwaukee, K.C., Minnesota, and Cleveland try.
BTW, A's owner John Fisher is loaded. He can afford players but he'd rather rip-off MLB and fans.
