Colorado Devil Rays Trade: 2018 1st Round Minors Draft pick to the Philadelphia Astros for Tyler Krieger, 2B (CLE) - Prospect Taylor Clarke, RHP (ARI) - Prospect
Devil Rays logic: I fell in love with these prospects while in trade discussions with Chuck for another deal. I wanted to circle back and find a way to add them to my roster. Any 1st rounder is tough to part with, but I feel these two players will help lessen the pain. Krieger is a top 10 2B prospect that has great on-base ability and speed. Clarke made it all the way to AA in his second pro season (first as a starter). He doesn't have a blazing fastball, but does possess pinpoint accuracy. He should move quickly and can easily be a 3-4 starter in the bigs. Great working with Chuck, yet again!

Agreed, I am in a win now mode in the next 2 years. Losing 2 prospects is not easy, but I thought is was worth the risk for a high pick in 2018. I hope this works for both parties. Great working with Brandon once again. Good luck!!

Commish approved. Processing on Fantrax. Will need to make a note of this one for 2018 Minors draft! Update your team rosters please.
