Jhonny Pereda, a catcher formerly with the Miami Marlins, has been traded to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for cash considerations. The 28-year-old made his major league debut last season, participating in 20 games and achieving a batting average of .231 with four RBIs. During his time at Triple-A Jacksonville, he showcased his potential by hitting .297 with four home runs and 14 RBIs across 49 games, demonstrating a solid .829 OPS. To accommodate Pereda on the roster, the A's designated Kyle McCann for assignment. McCann served as a backup catcher for the A's throughout the 2024 season, registering a .236 batting average with five home runs and 15 RBIs over 54 games.
