(Reuters) ? The Washington Nationals have acquired All-Star left-handed pitcher Gio Gonzalez in a six-player trade with the Oakland A's, the teams said on Friday.
Gonzalez, 26, earned his first All-Star selection this year after finishing among the American League leaders in wins, strikeouts (197), and ERA (3.12) with a 16-12 record in 32 starts.
"We could not be more pleased to add lefthander Gio Gonzalez to our club," Nationals executive vice president of baseball operations and general manager Mike Rizzo said in a statement.
"Gio is a front-line starter with glowing credentials, the vast majority of which were achieved before his 26th birthday.
"Gio's presence bolsters the top portion of our rotation with yet another power arm to compete in the rugged National League East."
Gonzalez has a career record 38-32 in 95 games and a 3.93 ERA.
The Nationals also acquired minor league right handed pitcher Robert Gilliam, while the A's received right-handed pitchers A.J. Cole and Brad Peacock, left-handed pitcher Tom Milone and catcher Derek Norris.
