The Oakland Athletics recently traded designated-for-assignment infielder J.D. Davis to the New York Yankees for cash considerations and infielder Jordan Groshans. This move was announced by the A’s on Sunday afternoon following a report by MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.
Jordan Groshans, a former first-round pick by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018, has spent most of his career in the minor leagues with a brief major-league stint with the Miami Marlins in 2022 where he hit .262/.308/.312 with one home run and two RBI in 61 at-bats. The 24-year-old utilityman is capable of playing multiple positions, including first base, third base, shortstop, and outfield.
Davis struggled at the plate this season with a .236 batting average, .304 on-base percentage, and .366 slugging percentage along with four home runs and five RBI in 135 at-bats. However, his acquisition by the A’s provides them with added depth as he can play second base or third base. Welcome to the Green and Gold, Jordan!
