Cust traveling up the west coast

So I'm watching ESPN's Baseball Tonight late Thursday night and the hosts are discussing how the Oakland A's will cope will the injury to future Hall of Famer Mike Piazza. Buster Olney surprised the heck out of me when he said one source of help could be the recent trade for San Diego Padres prospect Jack Cust.
Yes, the former Immaculata star. The same Jack Cust whose father is the Somerset Patriots chief financial officer. The same Jack Cust whose name bears the Flemington-based baseball academy where several of the Patriots work as instructors.
This is Cust's fifth professional organization, and it could be his best -- and final -- shot at sticking in the majors.

Here is the press release from the Triple-A Portland Beavers, where Cust was playing for the Padres.

PORTLAND, Ore. - The San Diego Padres today traded Portland outfielder Jack Cust to the Oakland Athletics for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
