Oakland Athletics Trade J.D. Davis to NYY for Utilityman Jordan Groshans, Boosting Lineup Flexibility and Defensive Capabilities

The Oakland Athletics have recently traded designated for assignment (DFA) infielder J.D. Davis to the New York Yankees, in exchange for infielder Jordan Groshans. The trade was reported by MLB Network’s Jon Morosi on Sunday. Davis, who has struggled with a lackluster performance this season, batted .236/.304/.366 with four home runs and five RBI in 135 at-bats.

Groshans, a former first-round pick by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018, has spent most of his career playing 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. The 24-year-old utilityman is expected to provide Oakland with depth at several positions including first base, third base, shortstop and outfield. This trade will give Oakland more flexibility in their lineup and bolster their defensive capabilities.
