The Athletics have bolstered their lineup by acquiring utility man Jeff McNeil from the Mets, sending pitching prospect Yordan Rodriguez in return. The Mets are also contributing $5.75M towards McNeil’s $15.75M salary this season and will cover a potential $2M buyout of his 2026 option. McNeil, the 2022 NL batting champion, aims to provide stability at second base while offering depth in the outfield, especially as the A’s deal with injuries and develop young talent like Leodalis De Vries.
