Oakland A’s Trade Infielder J.D. Davis to the New York Yankees for Depth and Flexibility in their Lineup

Oakland A’s recently traded designated for assignment (DFA) infielder J.D. Davis to the New York Yankees in exchange for infielder Jordan Groshans, as reported by MLB Network’s Jon Morosi on Sunday. The 24-year-old utilityman is expected to provide the A’s with depth at several positions, including first base, third base, shortstop, and outfield.

Groshans was a former first-round pick by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018 and has primarily played in the minor leagues with a brief major-league appearance with the Miami Marlins in 2022. In that appearance, he hit .262/.308/.312 with 16 hits, one home run, and two RBI in 61 official at-bats.

Davis, on the other hand, had a lackluster performance this season, batting .236/.304/.366 with four home runs and five RBI in 135 at-bats. He was designated for assignment on June 17. This trade will give Oakland more flexibility in their lineup and bolster their defensive capabilities.
