The Jurickson Profar experiment at second base for the Oakland A's lasted only a year, as Profar was traded to the San Diego Padres on Monday.

Profar had what can best be described as an up-and-down season for the Oakland Athletics. In his one full season with the A's after being acquired in a trade with the Texas Rangers, he hit 20 home runs and knocked in 67 runs in 139 games.
