OAKLAND -- The A's traded left-handed pitcher Dana Eveland to Toronto for a player to be named later or cash considerations on Saturday.
The transaction comes just five days after the 26-year-old Eveland was designated for assignment.
He began and finished the 2009 season in the starting rotation but mostly saw action at Triple-A Sacramento, where he went 8-6 with a 4.94 ERA in 21 starts. Meanwhile, he struggled during three stints in Oakland, going 2-4 with a 7.16 ERA in 13 games -- nine of which he started.
Originally acquired from Arizona in the Dan Haren trade following the 2007 season, Eveland leaves Oakland with a combined 11-13 record and 4.92 ERA in 42 games (38 starts) through two years. Just two out of the six players received in that trade -- Brett Anderson and Chris Carter -- are still with the A's.
Oakland had 10 days from the time Eveland was designated to trade, release or send him to the Minors if he cleared waivers. The club now has only five days to do so with the other two players designated on the same day -- infielder Gregorio Petit and outfielder Willy Taveras, who was acquired in a trade with the Reds.
