A’s Deal Cahill To Arizona For Three Prospects

The A’s have dealt starter Trevor Cahill and reliever Craig Breslow to Arizona for three Diamondbacks’ prospects, pitcher Jarrod Parker, outfielder Colin Cowgill and reliever Ryan Cook.

Parker is a former first-round pick who had 112 strikeouts in 130 2/3 innings last year at Double-A Mobile. Cowgill hit .354 with 30 stolen bases last year at Triple-A Reno. And Cook had a 2.21 ERA with 19 saves last year between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno.

Parker will compete for a spot in the A’s rotation, Cook will compete for a spot in the bullpen, and Cowgill will be the leading contender for the A’s opening in center field.
