The Oakland Athletics have acquired Starling Marte from the Miami Marlins in exchange for Jesus Luzardo.

Miami also sent cash to Oakland. According to reports, the A's received $4 million.

"We felt like Starling was frankly the best position player that was out there on the market," David Forst said. "We've always said when the team performs and puts itself in a playoff position, it's on us to do whatever we can to try and help them.''
