"Diamondbacks Trade for Jace Peterson from Athletics"

The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired infielder Jace Peterson in a trade with the Oakland Athletics. In addition to Peterson, Arizona also received cash considerations while sending out right-handed pitcher Chad Patrick and other prospects. Peterson will provide defensive versatility and split time at third base with Emmanuel Rivera and Evan Longoria, as well as backup Ketel Marte at second base. He has primarily been a platoon player in Oakland and has shown improved performance recently.
