Montas has been traded to the A's as part of a five-player trade Monday that will send Rich Hill and Josh Reddick to the Dodgers, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports.
Although he's not expected to return to the mound until September, the A's are getting a quality arm capable of helping their staff in 2017, and it's reasonable to think that Oakland will try to continue Montas' development as a starter given their organizational needs in the rotation. A pair of rib injuries have limited Montas to 16 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season, but he's impressed with a 22:3 K:BB over those frames.
