Dustin Fowler

Athletics acquire Dustin Fowler in trade with Yankees

The Oakland Athletics acquired outfielder Dustin Fowler, infield/outfield prospect Jorge Mateo, and starting pitcher Jameson Kaprielian from the New York Yankees in exchange for starting pitcher Sonny Gray and $1.5 million in international spending money.

What It Means:

Fowler's season was cut short when he ruptured his patella tendon in his right knee during his MLB debut on June 29, but the talented 22-year-old should be back to 100 percent by the start of next season.

Prior to injury, Fowler slashed .293/.329/.542 with 13 home runs, 43 RBI, 49 runs scored, and 13 steals in 313 plate appearances (70 games) for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
