Jonah Bride Sitting Sunday
2 years agoOakland Athletics third baseman Jonah Bride is getting the day off Sunday as his club faces Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies. In his second Major League season, the 27-year-old is slashing .209/.340/.233 with no home runs, five runs, and four RBI across 16 games. Bride's always been a solid on-base guy, posting a career .394 OBP over five seasons in the minors. Tony Kemp is taking his spot in the batting order, playing second base and batting seventh. The veteran utility man is sporting a sluggish .159 batting average with one home run and three stolen bases, making him irrelevant everywhere.

Marlins Acquire Jonah Bride From A's
1 year agoThe Miami Marlins acquired infielder Jonah Bride from the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday evening in exchange for cash considerations. To make room on their 40-man roster, the Marlins designated infielder Jordan Groshans for assignment in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old Bride has two years of major-league experience and has played third, second and first base. He also played 90 innings as a catcher at Double-A Midland in 2022. He hit a strong .305/.432/.544 with a .976 OPS, a career-high 13 home runs, 19 doubles, two triples, 54 RBI, five stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 73 games for Triple-A Las Vegas last year. Bride has just a .528 OPS in 293 big-league plate appearances, though, and he'll give the Fish some infield depth to open spring training in a couple weeks.

Jonah Bride Day-To-Day After Collision
3 years agoOakland Athletics third baseman Jonah Bride (shoulder, nose) was involved in a collision with teammate Chad Pinder on Sunday. The two players ran into each other while tracking down a foul ball. They were both down on the field in pain after the incident, but Pinder wound up staying in the game while Bride was pulled. After the contest, A's manager Mark Kotsay stated that Bride had a laceration on his nose and a "banged up shoulder" from the collision. He didn't require any stitches and he didn't suffer a concussion. The 26-year-old rookie will avoid the injured list and he is being considered day-to-day.
