A.J. Cole - S - Nationals

Athletics acquired RHP A.J. Cole, LHP Tommy Milone, RHP Brad Peacock and C Derek Norris from the Nationals for LHP Gio Gonzalez.

Cole posted a 4.04 ERA and 108/24 K/BB ratio in 89 innings this past season at the Single-A level. He's raw and has a ways to go in his development, but the 19-year-old right-hander carries the upside of a potential top-end starter. He was a fourth-round pick of the Nationals in the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft and was ranked this winter as the Nationals' No. 4 prospect by Baseball America.

A.J. Cole - S - Nationals

Nationals agreed to terms with fourth-round pick RHP A.J. Cole.

Quite a get for the Nats, as Cole was thought to be a difficult sign, thus the reason why he fell to the fourth round. The right-hander will get $2 million, which is well above the suggested slot for a fourth-rounder.
