Detroit & Pittsburgh trade

[Deleted]

Steve taught me that "all-in" means "all-in". Cannot catch Henry hoarding my prospects. Having said that I think it's obvious I am making this deal by mortgaging my future to win it all now.

Detroit sends the following:

Lewis Brinson (Prospect)
Alex Reyes (Prospect)
Chance Adams (Prospect)
Tyler O'Neill (Prospect)
A.J. Puk (Prospect)
2019 3rd round draft pick

Pittsburgh Sends the following:

Marcel Ozuna 18: $3m, 19: $5m (Welcome back to the team)
Jacob deGromm 18: $500k
Odubel Herrera 18 & 19: $500k
Ian Happ 18 - 21: $500k



Brodie to confirm. As always, pleasure doing business with you.

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Well Well Well....Me and Jon strike again to start off the new year with a bang.

I was not actively shopping the newly acquired Degrom or Ozuna however I had to look at my team and really decide if either would be a part of my core in a year or two. The answer is probably not without getting really expensive. The reason for this deal is that all the prospects in the deal with the exception of Puk should be apart of my ML roster this year and Puk should be as early as next year.

In the long run while there is risk there 7 possible years of control for Reyes should be worth as much or more than 3 years of Degrom (assuming prospect tag)
The lottery ticket here is O'neill who has lost some prospect luster in the last year or so and is in a crowded OF in St. Louis; however the power is REAL! hopefully he can regain some of his value with a strong year this year.

I really needed to add some pitching to my team and this deal accomplishes that.

Hmmmmm. Ok... this is a big one.

Commish approved. Processing on Fantrax and updating draft threads.
