The White Sox traded Phegley to the A's on Tuesday along with Marcus Semien, Chris Bassitt and Rangel Ravelo in exchange for Jeff Samardzija and Michael Ynoa. Phegley has shown improved on-base skills and increased pop at the Triple-A level over the past two seasons, smacking 15 and 23 homers in 2013 and 2014, respectively. His .274/.331/.530 batting line with Triple-A Charlotte last season was only good enough to earn him 10 starts with the big club, but Phegley could be in line for a significant increase in playing time in 2015 while perhaps serving as the backup to Derek Norris.
