The Athletics continued making moves after Thursday’s blockbuster trade that shipped All-Star closer Mason Miller to the San Diego Padres.
The A’s traded veteran infielder/outfielder Miguel Andújar to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right–handed pitching prospect Kenya Huggins.

Andújar spent the last two seasons with the A’s, hitting .290 in 135 appearances for the Green and Gold. He slashed .298/.329/.434 in 60 appearances during the 2025 MLB season, making him an appealing trade chip entering Thursday’s deadline.
Huggins appeared in 18 games this season for Cincinnati’s Single-A affiliate Daytona Tortugas, posting a 3.64 ERA in 63 1/3 innings of work. The 22-year-old pitcher was selected in the fourth round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Reds.
Andújar ended his Athletics tenure with a bang, launching two home runs in the team’s 5-4 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night.
