KC / STL Trade

[Deleted]

STL sends:

Aledmys Diaz (STL) – ’17 – ’20 500K
Stephen Piscotty (STL) – ’17-’19 500K
Mike Moustakas (KC) – ’17: 3M

KC sends:

Aaron Sanchez (TOR) ’17-’18 500K
Joc Pederson (LAD) ’17-’19 500K

Not even close to a blockbuster, but an exchange of some recognizable names.  KC makes the trade based on preferring Piscotty to Pederson and taking a gamble on a 2016 breakout SS in Diaz.  Hurts to part with Sanchez as he is a quality SP, but I think there are still some questions there.  Hopefully the exchange works out for each side.

I confirm. I'm adding a really good pitcher in Sanchez and pitching is harder to come by then hitting which makes this swap something that works out well for my team since I have a good young core on offense and not as much depth on the pitching side of things. I'm also a big fan of Joc because he has major power potential and I think that he can really start to come into his own as he continues to improve at the MLB level. He's a really good asset to have and I'm excited to bring both Joc and Sanchez on board and hopefully this swap can work out for the both of us in the future.
