Dodgers Trade Wilmer Font To Athletics For Logan Salow

The Los Angeles Dodgers traded Wilmer Font to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Logan Salow. Font was designated for assignment this week to make room on the 25-man roster for the call up of top prospect Walker Buehler, who started Monday’s game against the Miami Marlins.

The reason that Font was on the Dodgers’ Opening Day roster to begin with despite a rough showing in Spring Training was because he was out of Minor League options.

He was given an opportunity to prove that he can be a capable Major League pitcher, but he did not make the most of that opportunity, posting an 11.32 ERA, 8.38 FIP and 1.84 WHIP in six appearances (10.1 innings) while striking out seven and walking one.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts did not feel that there was be many innings for Font in the future, which led to him being designated for assignment. Roberts also added that there was some interest in Font on the trade market and they ended up finding a partner in Oakland.

Salow was a sixth-round draft pick of the Athletics in 2017 out of the University of Kentucky. In four games so far with High-A Beloit, the 23-year-old has yielded a 1.59 ERA and 0.53 WHIP while striking out eight and walking just two in 5.2 innings.

In 15 games with Low-A Vermont in 2017, Salow also had a lot of success, pitching to a 1.61 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 22.1 innings of work.
