The Brooklyn Wolves have made a trade sending 1B Juan Gomez (AAA) to Seattle in exchange for OF Ben Beard (AA), LF Eric Halliwell and a fifth round draft pick.
Gomez was a ninth round pick for Brooklyn in the 2016 draft. After spending two and a half years in A-ball, he moved up through the ranks, making his AAA debut earlier this year.
Beard, like Gomez, was a late-round pick in the 2016 draft. Beard was taken in the seventh round and spent three years in A-ball. Earning a promotion to AA this year, Beard is hitting .341 with a .908 OPS.
Eric Halliwell was selected by Seattle in the third round of the 2018 draft. Currently in his second year of A-ball, he is hitting .250.
Well, I guess that takes care of my glut of outfield prospects. That's four outfielders dealt in three deals in less than three weeks of gametime.
ReplyDeleteHope all the new talent (Kuhn, Gomez, Inman, and the 2nd round pick) pans out.
