OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland A's have acquired right-handed pitcher Jeurys Familia from the New York Mets for right-handed pitcher Bobby Wahl, infielder Will Toffey and $1,000,000 in international slot money, the club announced today. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the A's transferred right-handed pitcher Daniel Gossett to the 60-day disabled list.
Familia was 4-4 with 17 saves and a 2.88 ERA in 40 relief appearances with New York. He is tied for ninth in the National League in saves and has yielded just one home run in 40.2 innings. The 28-year-old right-hander has a .234 opponents batting average, including .185 against right-handed hitters. Familia was originally signed by the Mets as a non-drafted free agent in 2007 and was named a NL All-Star in 2016 when he saved a Major League leading and Mets record 51 games. The native of the Dominican Republic was 13-17 with 123 saves and a 2.66 ERA in 313 games over seven seasons with New York. He leaves the Mets ranked third on their career saves list.
Wahl has spent the entire season at Triple-A Nashville where he is 3-2 with 11 saves and a 2.27 ERA in 34 games. He made his Major League debut with Oakland last year and compiled a 4.70 ERA in seven relief appearances. The 26-year-old right-hander was originally selected by the A's in the fifth round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.
Toffey was batting .244 with five home runs and 32 RBI in 48 games with Single-A Stockton where he appeared exclusively at third base on defense. The 23-year-old left-handed hitter was the A's fourth round draft pick last year and hit .263 with a home run and 22 RBI in 57 games in his professional debut with Short Season Vermont in 2017. Toffey is rated as the A's 17th best prospect MLB.com.
