This one's intriguing. From the A's perspective, Hernandez would certainly solidify 2B and yes, be a good platoon partner for Profar. But they also have Barreto, who's getting an extended look right now -- they want to see if he passes the test first before moving on from him. If he doesn't cut it, and the Phillies do a soft sell, this deal has merit.

Cesar Hernandez is a good 2B, and the A´s have a big hole there with Profar being the starter, but they actually would complement each other really well, Cesar hits RHP better and Profar is a better hitter against LHP, both switch hitters and would be the perfect platoon. The Phillies move on from Hernandez and it gives them the chance to finally settle Scott Kingery into 2B, his natural position. The return isn't incredible but Kaprelian looks like a good potential starter who was off-railed by injuries, and Heim is a defensive Catcher and would provide good depth on the organizaton. I think this one makes sense for both teams, The Phillies can still contend after this and the A´s bolster a weak spot to fuel their playoff push.
