Ryan O'Hearn Traded to San Diego Padres in Deadline Deal

First baseman Ryan O'Hearn has been acquired by the San Diego Padres from the Baltimore Orioles as part of a trade that also included Ramon Laureano. The All-Star, known as a high-end platoon bat punishing right-handed pitching, is having a career year, currently boasting a .283 average, 13 home runs, 43 RBI, and 42 walks. Despite his overall success, he has cooled off recently, hitting just .224 since the end of May. O'Hearn also provides lineup versatility at first base, outfield, and DH, and will be a free agent at the end of the season.
