A's Send JJ Bleday to the Minors
JJ Bleday to Triple-A Las Vegas and designated outfielder Seth Brown for assignment, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. The moves come as the A's cleared room for prospects Denzel Clarke and Logan Davidson, who are both top-30 prospects for the club, according to MLB Pipeline. For now, Clarke is expected to replace Bleday as the team's everyday center fielder after Bleday, the former fourth overall pick by the Miami Marlins in 2019 out of Vanderbilt, hit just .204/.291/.365 with six homers, 18 RBI, 26 runs and a steal in 167 at-bats to begin the 2025 season. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder should be back in the majors again at some point this year, but his fantasy stock will obviously take a big hit. Brown was hitting .192 (10-for-52) with a homer and three RBI as a part-time outfielder for the Athletics.
