Mariners acquire INF Ryon Healy from A’s for RHP Emilio Pagan
We have our first Jerry Dipoto trade of the offseason! The Mariners have acquired Oakland A’s infielder Ryon Healy for reliever Emilio Pagan and 17-year-old infielder Alexander Campos.
The M’s will plug Healy in as the team’s first baseman in 2018 and, in theory, beyond.
Healy was a steady bat for Oakland last year as the 25-year-old slashed .271/.302/.451 with 25 bombs. The guy doesn’t walk a whole lot (3.8%), strikes out a bunch (23.5%), and graded out pretty poorly defensively last year. A permanent move to first base should at least mitigate the latter issue.
