The Chicago White Sox have acquired outfielder Dominic Fletcher from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for right-hander Cristian Mena. Fletcher, who made a strong impression in his brief stint in the majors last year, fills a need for the White Sox in the outfield. In return, the Diamondbacks receive a promising 21-year-old pitching prospect in Mena, who has the potential to be a mid-rotation starter.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired right-handed pitcher Cristian Mena from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for outfielder Dominic Fletcher. Mena, a 21-year-old prospect, had a 4.85 ERA with 156 strikeouts in 133.2 innings last season, while Fletcher, 26, played 28 games for Arizona and hit .301 with two home runs before being sidelined by a fractured finger.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have recalled outfielder Dominic Fletcher from Triple-A, setting up a family showdown as he will face his brother, Angels infielder David Fletcher, in their upcoming series. The meeting holds special significance for the Fletcher family, who recently lost their father. Dominic has made a strong contribution to the Diamondbacks since his debut, while David has recently been called up from the minors. This sibling rivalry adds to the growing list of siblings competing against each other in the MLB. The Diamondbacks have not yet announced a corresponding move, but it's possible they want to rest Corbin Carroll ahead of the All-Star Game.
Dominic Fletcher's impressive start to his MLB career has given the Arizona Diamondbacks a good problem to have in deciding which young outfielders to play. Fletcher has reached base in 15 of his first 18 games and has played all three outfield positions, forcing his way into the lineup and giving the D-backs flexibility to let struggling players like Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy take time to find their offensive rhythm. The organization has a flurry of options in the outfield, including four left-handed outfielders and Dominic Canzone, plus contributions from veterans Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Pavin Smith.
