JJ Bleday Traded To Athletics
2 years agoMiami Marlins outfielder JJ Bleday has been traded to the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. In exchange, the Marlins will receive left-hander A.J. Puk from Oakland. Bleday was unlikely to have a significant role in Miami. He hit .167/.277/.309 with five homers and four steals with the Marlins last season. The 25-year-old should get more of a chance to make an impact with the rebuilding Athletics. As for the Marlins, Puk put together a fairly strong season in 2022. He finished with a 3.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 76 strikeouts in 62 appearances with Oakland. The 27-year-old could end up as a high leverage bullpen option for the Marlins.
