A's Designate JJ Bleday for Assignment
The Athletics designated outfielder JJ Bleday for assignment on Tuesday, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Bleday has not lived up to the high expectations of being the fourth overall pick by the Miami Marlins in 2019 out of Vanderbilt. The left-handed-hitting outfielder spent one year in Miami before being shipped to the Bay Area. In his three seasons with the A's, he slashed an underwhelming .224/.313/.410 with a .723 OPS, 44 home runs, 126 RBI, 157 runs scored, and only eight steals in 339 games played. The Athletics are dropping him from their roster this offseason after he hit .212 (65-for-307) in 2025 with 14 long balls, 39 RBI, and 48 runs scored in 98 games played. The 28-year-old will enter free agency this offseason if he refuses his outright assignment to the minor leagues.
