Athletics acquired OF Jared Dickey, RHP Will Klein, and RHP Mason Barnett from Kansas City for RHP Lucas Erceg.
Dickey was an 11th-round pick in last year’s draft and is already in High-A slashing .269/.360/.424 with nine home runs and eight steals in 81 games. He has a sub-20 percent strikeout rate and a 10 percent walk rate, so he brings a decent plate approach from the left side of the plate. He’s still a ways from the majors, so it’s unclear what his long-term upside is.
