Orioles / Nationals trade

[Henry (Cleveland Nationals)]

Pittsburgh sends:
Willy Adames, SS, TB
Pick 12.2

Cleveland sends:
Jose de Leon, RHP, TB
Erick Fedde, RHP, WAS
Keynan Middleton, RHP, LAA 18:0.5M; 19:0.5M; 20:0.5M; 21:0.5M

Very quick chat with Brodie and came upon this- he was after some pitching and I like Adames as a possibly unspectacular but very likely solid all round hitter who will get a lot of PT with his great defense. Best of luck to Brodie and hope all the pieces in the trade work out for both of us!

Agreed, After my last few deals it left me with a surplus at the MI spot. with Adames poised to be up in 2018 I offered him up to Henry. As discussed not a guy your building a squad around but a solid guy that will chip in a few HR,SB and not hurt your Avg.

I like De leon, he had a rough year injury wise but has a good path to the majors, plays in a good park but a tough division. He is not far removed from 2.61 ERA with over 11 K/9 back in 2016. Here is hoping he rekindles some of the magic.

Fedde is another arm I like but again has some question marks. he should battle for the 5th rotation spot this year. Definitely has some reliever risk associated but he misses bats and this still has a lot of value in our league.

I really like how my team is starting to take shape and looking to add more young exciting arms to my squad.
