Blackburn has started nine games for the A’s this season, going 4-2 with a 4.41 ERA. The 30-year-old has a 21-26 record with an ERA of 4.83 in his career.
The Mets are getting some starting pitching depth, which will help considering Kodai Senga and Christian Scott are currently on the injured list.
The A’s are getting Morris, who has a 3.48 ERA in the minors.
