Colorado Devil Rays trade:
Yadier Alvarez, SP (LAD) - Prospect
2017 MILB Draft 11th Round (Pick 11.9)
2017 MILB Draft 12th Round (Pick 12.9)
to the Cleveland Nationals for:
Derek Hill, OF (DET) - Prospect
Chris Paddack, SP (SDP) - Prospect
Sam Coonrod, RP (SFG) - Prospect
Devil Rays logic: This trade is one that is accomplished from a position of strength to a position of need. I have several good starting pitching prospects, but very few OF prospects and even less prospects overall with game changing speed. Hill fits both. I am very high on Alvarez and have no doubt that he will be a game changer, but if Paddack can come back healthy in 2018 and Coonrod continues to have a solid, albeit unspectacular, rise, then this trade will have done what I needed it to do. Great working with Henry, as always!
