Diamondbacks Acquire Adam Rosales

By Steve Adams | July 31, 2017 at 3:21pm CDT

The Athletics announced that they have traded veteran infielder Adam Rosales to the Diamondbacks in exchange for minor league right-hander Jeferson Mejia.  The minor move coincides with the D’Backs placing shortstop Chris Owings on the 60-day DL due to yesterday’s fractured finger, according to Nick Piecoro of AZ Central.

Rosales, who has played for the A’s in parts of five seasons, was a candidate to be designated for assignment as Chad Pinder approaches his return from a hamstring injury, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.  The 34-year-old Rosales is hitting .234/.273/.346 in 223 plate appearances for the A’s this year, appearing mainly at shortstop.  Arizona’s acquisition was likely influenced by a tragedy, as shortstop Ketel Marte left the team after the loss of his mother in a car accident.

Mejia, a 22-year-old reliever who was recently demoted to short-season ball, has struggled with his control and posted a 5.90 ERA in 21 relief appearances this year.  The D’Backs acquired him from the Cubs in 2014 as part of the Miguel Montero deal.

    D-backs fans you will love Rosales spirit. He plays above average defense around the infield and brings in great chemistry. It cost you almost nothing with the A’s getting a non-prospect arm in return who probably never makes it above AA. The A’s were just clearly space for a younger utility player in Pinder.

    With Rosales and Sogard now gone, who fills that all-important utility infielder role that cant hit a lick? Beane doesnt like to let that position be unfilled for very long.. Pinder hits too well for that. What’s Daric Barton up to these days?

      Yeah, Pinder. He plays SS, 2ND AND corner OF and has good power.

    Put Rosales legs and hustle on Cozart’s body and you got a top of the line shortstop. D’backs you got a great backup, now get a starter.

      Have you been watching the games? Ketel Marte is amazing on defense and he’s also proving himself offensively. He looks like Francisco Lindor.

    Most of Rosales’ value, from what I’ve heard, comes from within the clubhouse. People love hanging with him, comparable to Jonny Gomes when he was a member of the Red Sox.

      What else could you expect from a guy who got bounced back and forth between division rivals?

      He’s basically the army brat of MLB.

    As a D-back fan, this move makes me glad they have Hazen and his analytics department. Rosales is respectable against lefties. Descalso and Rosales will platoon until Marte returns. That’s great patchwork! I pray for Marte to get some good time with family during the tragic loss of his mom, and I am excited to watch him play when he’s ready to return. I’m so glad they have him as Owings and Ahmed have gone down.
