of the following regular season. Andújar was additionally ordered to make restitution for damages. Oakland Athletics (1986–1987) Andújar was traded from the Cardinals to the Oakland Athletics for Mike Heath and Tim Conroy during the Winter Meetings on December 10, 1985. Herzog denied that the transaction had anything to do with Andújar winning only one game after August 23 or what transpired during the World Series. Cardinals general manager Dal Maxvill said that the team needed a catcher after releasing Darrell Porter and having only a barely tested Tom Nieto on its depth chart. Andújar was to begin the season serving a ten-game suspension (later reduced to five) for the World Series feud with Denkinger. Also, on February 28, 1986, Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth handed down season-long suspensions to Andújar—who police say dealt drugs to then-Cardinals teammate Lonnie Smith in 1982—and six other players who had admitted to cocaine abuse during the Pittsburgh drug trials. The suspensions were reduced to anti-drug donations and community service. As luck would have it, Denkinger was the home plate umpire for Andújar's first start of 1986. His first start of the season was uneventful as Andújar lasted just 4+ innings while giving up 6 earned runs. Despite his lackluster start to the season, Andújar had a decent year in 1986, going 12–7 with a 3.82 ERA. He suffered numerous injuries along the way, including an injury sustained during batting practice. Injuries limited Andújar to 13 starts in . His last start was on August 3, and he lasted just two-thirds of an inning, giving up 3 runs.

He ended the season at 2–5 with a 4.00 ERA. He earned a 5–0 record in the Senior Professional Baseball Association (SPBA) in late . When he was signed by the Montreal Expos on December 11, he became the first SPBA player to sign with an MLB club. He was released by the Expos the following March.
