The Mariners have acquired Danny Valencia from the Athletics, Yahoo! Sports’
Jeff Passan tweets. In exchange, Oakland will receive righty Paul Blackburn,
tweets MLB.com’s Greg Johns.

The 32-year-old Valencia has hit well in each of the past two seasons, most
recently posting a .287/.346/.446 line in 517 plate appearances with Oakland
in 2016. He also logged substantial playing time at three positions (third
base, first base and right field), giving him a bit of defensive versatility.
He graded poorly at third, though, and got in a clubhouse altercation with
Billy Butler that resulted in Butler heading to the 7-day concussion DL.
Butler was released soon after, and although the Athletics said Butler’s
release was unrelated to the clubhouse fight, it seemed by season’s end that
the A’s were looking to move on from Valencia. Youngster Ryon Healy received
the bulk of the Athletics’ available playing time down the stretch at third
base. It already looked possible the A’s could look outfield help this
winter, and now it looks even more likely that they will.
Valencia has one more year of club control remaining before he’s eligible
for free agency, and we project he’ll make $5.3MM next season. The Mariners
obviously have a good third baseman in Kyle Seager, but Valencia could be a
factor at first base and/or in the outfield. At first, his right-handed bat
might pair well with that of lefty Dan Vogelbach.
The 22-year-old Blackburn, who arrived with Vogelbach in the Mike Montgomery
deal in July, ranked as the Mariners’ 18th-best prospect, according to
MLB.com. The Cubs made him the 56th overall pick in the draft in 2012. He
throws sinkers in the low 90s and has what MLB.com describes as solid
secondary stuff and a good feel for pitching, so perhaps he could profile as
a back-of-the-rotation type in the big leagues. He produced a 3.27 ERA, 6.2
K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in 143 Double-A innings in 2016.
