The Phila. Astros send:
1) Hudson Potts - SD -(Prospect) 2) Antonio Cabello - NYY -(Prospect) 3) 2019 5th round minors pick
The Boston Padres send:
1) Wilson Ramos - C - FA : 2019: 14 Mil
-The reason for this trade is that I am all in for a 2019 Tittle run this year. Ramos is one of the best offensive Catchers and would greatly improve that position on my roster. Potts & Cabello are two prospects that the Boston Padres wanted in this deal as they continue to rebuild for the future. I hope this trade works out for both teams. Good luck!!!

Sorry for the delay guys.
Yep, full on rebuild mode. Moving Ramos and his $14M salary definitely helps my cap space and gives me more options in Free Agency. Although Cabello is many years away and Potts maybe another one or two, I like them both a lot and they add some really nice depth to my farm. The 5th rounder coming back to me was icing on the cake for this deal.
Good luck to Chuck in his hunt for a championship. Don't count me out though. I still intend to be competitive.

After further review, Philly Astros have already traded their 5th rounder in 1/11/18 trade to Colorado Rays. Please work on re-negotiating this deal.

Chuck and I have agreed on a reworked deal.
Philadelphia Astros send: Hudson Potts - SD -(Prospect) Antonio Cabello - NYY -(Prospect) Geraldo Perdomo - ARI (Prospect) 2019 9th round minors pick
Boston Padres send: Wilson Ramos - C - FA 19: $14M
I asked Chuck to either send me a higher pick, or send me a lower pick with Perdomo. He took the lesser of two evils. I'm happy to accept this reworked trade.

Agreed. I thought Perdomo and a 9th round was an acceptable price to make up for my error of offering a 5th round that I did not own.. Good luck to Scott with his rebuild.
