text: A's Net Two Pitchers For AndersonMelissa Lockard12/10/2013Once the Oakland A's signed free agent Scott Kazmir, the writing was on the wall that the team would trade left-hander Brett Anderson, who was due $8 million for the upcoming season. The talented but oft-injured southpaw has been shipped to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for two pitchers expected to start next season in the minor leagues.The Oakland A's shed some payroll and added two pitchers will lots of years of team control on Tuesday, as they traded veteran left-hander Brett Anderson to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for left-hander Drew Pomeranz and right-hander Chris Jensen. Pomeranz has 136.2 innings of major-league experience and is on the 40-man roster, although he still has six years before free agency. Jensen was a sixth-round pick of the Rockies in 2011 and spent last season in High-A.
  One thing this trade doesn't do is ease the logjam of starting pitching candidates leading into spring training. The A's still have eight starters on their 40-man roster with significant starting pitching experience in the big leagues. They could make another deal involving a pitcher on their 40-man roster before the off-season is through.
