As Acquire Abraham Tor As Acquire Abraham Tor
The As have acquired infielder in a trade with the Brewers. Minor league pitcher is headed back to Milwaukee. Oakland already had four vacancies on the 40-man roster, so no further move was nece sary. Toro, 27 next month, has now been traded three times in his career. The former Astro draftee went to the Mariners in the deal at the 2021 deadline. Toro didnt find consistent offensive succe s over a season and a half in Seattle. He hit only .213/.276/.342 in 605 plate appearances (roughly one full year of playing time) through the end of the 2022 campaign. As a result, the Mariners looked to upgrade at second base. They sent Toro alongside designated hitter to Milwaukee for . The trade didnt work out for anyone involved. Wong was released by August while Winker slumped to a .199/.320/.247 line before hitting free agency. Toro barely played for the Brew Crew, getting into just nine MLB contests. Toro spent most of the season on optional a signment to Milwaukees Triple-A team in Nashville. The switch-hitter had solid numbers there, running a .291/.374/.471 batting line over 414 plate appearances. He only hit eight home runs but walked at an excellent 11.8% clip while striking out 17.6% of the time. Despite the solid numbers, Milwaukee stuck with light-hitting Nikola Vucevic Jersey rookie at second base and rotated through a number of third base options. 26-year-old rookie and scuffling veteran got looks at the hot corner instead of Toro. That limited usage made him a non-tender candidate approaching Fridays deadline. While his projected $1.3MM arbitration salary isnt exorbitant, its almost twice the league minimum rate. Toro is also out of minor league option years. Milwaukee would have had to keep him on the MLB roster or designate him for a signment at the beginning of next season. Oakland is apparently more willing to take that shot. The As have almost nothing locked down in the infield. Second baseman hit free agency. As third basemen (primarily the since-traded , and ) combined for dreadful .192/.271/.285 batting line. Toro has a solid minor league track record and is eligible for arbitration through 2026. The As can afford to give him some run in whatll be another uncompetitive season to see if he can hit MLB pitching. The move for Milwaukee is mostly about clearing the roster spot and projected salary. Rather than a straight non-tender, theyll pick up a mid-tier pitching prospect. Patrick joined the As before the trade deadline in the deal that sent Peterson to the Diamondbacks. A former fourth round pick, Patrick spent the 2023 campaign in the upper minors. He logged a 5.59 ERA over 124 innings between the Arizona and Oakland organizations. The Purdue-Northwest product struck out 23% of opponents while i suing walks at a slightly high 9.4% clip. He wont be eligible for the Rule 5 draft until next offseason, so Milwaukee can keep him in Nashville as non-roster rotation depth. Tracy McGrady Jersey
