The Texas Rangers reportedly made a blockbuster trade on Saturday, sending longtime shortstop Elvis Andrus to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for slugger Khris Davis and a handful of prospects.
In addition to Andrus, the A's will receive catching prospect Aramis Garcia, while in addition to Davis, the Rangers will receive catcherJonah Heim, right handed pitcher Dane Acker. There will also be cash considerations exchanged in the deal.
Andrus, who is under contract through the 2022 season, is due to earn $28.5 million over the next two seasons.
Davis, who signed a new two-year contract extension in 2019 with Oakland, will be a free agent at the end of the 2021, and is due to make $13.75 million next season.
In his time with Oakland, Davis held a .240 batting average and had 158 home runs.
"Oakland has been a special place for me since I arrived," Davis said following his extension. "I love playing here in front of our fans, and my teammates make this feel like a family. I never hid the fact that I wanted to stay in Oakland because that is how I feel and I'm glad that I can continue to call the city of Oakland my baseball home. This team has a bright future, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it."
