Profar is trending

The Oakland A's have traded infielder Jurickson Profar to the San Diego Padres for catcher Austin Allen and a player to be named later, sources tell ESPN. Profar was likely to be non-tendered before the 8 p.m. ET deadline, and Oakland wound up getting Allen, 25 with some pop.

Jurickson Profar should slot in at second base for the Padres, rounding out an infield of Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Eric Hosmer. If San Diego gets the 2018 version of Profar, that's one of the best infields in baseball. The 2019 version of Profar struggled mightily.

The year is 2045 The expansion Portland Red Flannels have just traded for a 52 year old Jurickson Profar. “We like his prospect pedigree and think he’s due for a big breakout year.”

Welcome to The Town, Austin! We've acquired catcher Austin Allen and a player to be named later from the San Diego Padres for second baseman Jurickson Profar.

Profar was always one of AJ Preller’s favorite players. Helped bring him to Rangers. #padres

.@Padres acquire INF Jurickson Profar from @Athletics for catcher Austin Allen, PTBN or cash.

I don’t think the power peak is coming back for Profar, his batted ball speeds are not compelling. But he has discipline, makes contact, & his expected BA & SLG were in line with his breakout 2018 season. As long as he can throw it to first, he should be league average next year.

Profar would be a spectacular utility guy on that roster and they gave up nothing for him. But if he’s the starter? Sorry - that doesn’t even make it twitch. But congrats to AJ for finally getting to bang the prom queen at the 20 year reunion.

After last week’s trade, the Padres needed second-base help. A.J. Preller wasted no time finding some. But he might not be done looking either. https://t.co/lKtAlEU8uL

Jayce Tingler and AJ Preller are probably as knowledgeable about Profar as any two people in baseball. Says a lot that they still covet him. https://t.co/XPjFfNPB6y

Guys who could be non-tendered today that I'd have at least some level of interest in for the Cubs: César Hernández, Jake Lamb, José Peraza, Kevin Pillar, Jurickson Profar, Kevin Gausman, Aaron Sanchez, José Ureña, Adam Conley, Blake Treinen

The #Padres going from Luis Urias to Jurickson Profar is a whole lot of former top prospect whiplash. https://t.co/aR1CDh3lZs

Profar against LHP: .378 OBP .457 SLG 125 wRC+ .356 wOBA Greg Garcia vs RHP: .370 OBP .373 SLG 103 wRC+ .327 wOBA That is a solid combo. Profar will probably won't be the starting 2B. Preller is probably gonna continue to search for another 2B or OF in winter meetings

Profar's 2019 xwoba was .002 points lower than his 2018 xwoba, the year which he put up 2.8 wins. Last year he had a .218 BABIP which is projected to rebound to .250. He's currently projected for 2.2 wins by Steamer. For 6MM, that's good value with upside.

We have talked about Profar for years, and now that he is here...I don’t know.

Steamer has Profar with a .324 wOBA (104 wRC+) next year, which is exactly what his xwOBA was this year. It's really not that crazy to think he'll be good next year.

I'll miss Profar though. Amazing talent/ great person He started to hit during the 2H of 2019. Thought his bat as a INF/OF platoon could have played in 2020 2B battle this spring at A's camp will be interesting Hope Profar dominates the NL West & helps SD finally start winning
