[edit] Biographical Information
In July, 2008, Chad Gaudin was traded with Rich Harden from the Oakland A's to the Chicago Cubs for Sean Gallagher, infielder Eric Patterson, outfielder Matt Murton and catching prospect Josh Donaldson. He was picked up by the New York Yankees for the stretch drive in 2009, when they were struggling to find a reliable fifth starter, and was on the team's post-season roster, although he was not used in the World Series.
Expected to earn a spot on the Yankees' pitching staff in 2010, either as the fifth starter or as a long reliever, he was instead released on March 25 but was picked up by the Athletics to serve as a long reliever. He pitched 12 games with the A's with an ERA of 8.83, was released again on May 21 and then signed again with the Yankees, which were again looking for an experienced arm for their bullpen at this point.
