Athletics acquire Khris Davis from Brewers

The Oakland Athletics acquired outfielder Khris Davis from the Brewers for catcher Jacob Nottingham and pitcher Bubba Derby.

What It Means:

The Brewers have been looking to deal Davis for awhile now and appear to have received a decent return. Nottingham gives them a legitimate catching prospect whose path could soon be cleared if the club is also successful in dealing Jonathan Lucroy. The 20-year-old backstop slashed .316/.372/.505 with 17 homers and 82 RBI in 119 games across two minor league levels in 2015, finishing at High-A Stockton.

Davis is a great source of right-handed power. In 440 plate appearances in 2015, he slugged 27 jacks and posted a .353 wOBA. Entering his age-28 season, Steamer Projections have him mashing 26 homers with a .336 wOBA.
