Mark Trumbo Traded to Diamondbacks: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

The Angels traded first baseman Mark Trumbo to the Arizona Diamondbacks in a three-team deal also involving the White Sox, AZCentralSport.com’s Nick Piecoro reported on Tuesday.

1. Adam Eaton to White Sox

Eaton, a 25-year-old outfielder, was ranked as a top-100 prospect coming into 2013, according to CBS Sports.


2. Tyler Skaggs, Hector Santiago to Angels

Skaggs is a 22-year-old left-handed pitcher with only 68 innings of experience at the Major League level.

Santiago, 25, owns a 3.41 ERA in 27 starts and 51 relief appearances.


3. Diamondbacks Active in Trade Market

The Diamondbacks, who pursued Carlos Beltran and are still pursuing Shin-Soo Choo, have been looking to make a big splash in the free agent market this offseason.


4. Trumbo Hits for Power But Not Average

Trumbo has belted 95 home runs since 2011, tying him for the fifth-most in the big leagues over that span. However, Trumbo holds just a .299 on-base percentage in 1,853 career at-bats.


5. Trumbo’s Numbers Could Increase at Chase Field

Trumbo’s already impressive power numbers could receive a boost playing in Chase Field – one of the friendliest offensive ballparks in the MLB.
