Dodgers Trade Matt Beaty to Padres, Promote River Ryan
Beaty Traded for Minor Leaguer
Ryan Impresses with Strong Performance
The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded first baseman/outfielder Matt Beaty to the San Diego Padres in exchange for a minor league player, the teams announced on Monday. The move comes as the Dodgers prepare to promote right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan to the major leagues.
Beaty, 29, has played four seasons with the Dodgers, primarily serving as a utility player. He has a career batting average of .265 with 33 home runs and 168 RBIs. Last season, Beaty hit .270 with 12 home runs and 61 RBIs in 132 games.
Ryan, 26, has emerged as one of the Dodgers' top pitching prospects in recent years. He made his MLB debut in 2022, appearing in 12 games out of the bullpen and posting a 3.60 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 25 innings pitched.
The Dodgers' decision to trade Beaty and promote Ryan is a sign of their confidence in the young pitcher. Ryan's impressive performance in the minors and his strong showing in the majors last season have led some to question the Dodgers' long-term pitching strategy.
