A's general manager Billy Beane swapped Blanton a week after sending Rich Harden to the Chicago Cubs - and that's with his team very much in contention in the AL West, six games behind the first-place Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old Blanton, a 14-game winner last season, was 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA in 20 starts for Oakland. The minor leaguers involved are left-hander Josh Outman, who was in double-A, and second baseman Adrian Cardenas and outfielder Matt Spencer, both players in single-A.
