5 years agoLess a splash and more of a sneaky splish, the Oakland A's waded into the trade waters on Saturday, sending minor-leaguers Ismael Aquino and Dairon Blanco to the Royals in exchange for left-handed reliever, Jake Diekman. In Diekman, the Athletics make a classic Oakland move, shoring up their bullpen with the eight-year veteran and his 33.5% K-rate over 41+ innings this year; and who is only owed less than half of the $2.75 million team-friendly deal that he signed with the Royals prior to 2019. With a fastball that sits 97 -98 mph and a nasty slider - 36% chase-rate and a 20.4% swinging-strike - the A's get a cheap, quality leftie who can get out more than just his fellow wrong-handers, as he's posted a 40% K-rate versus righties this season.--Nicklaus Gaut - RotoBaller
