The Phila. Astros send:
1) Whit Merrifield - 2B/CF - KC Royals 2019: 1 Mil 2) Jairo Pomares - OF/CF - SF Giants -(Prospect)
Boston Padres Send:
1) Jose Abreu - 1B - CWS - 2019: 3 Mil, 2020: 5 Mil
-The reasoning for this trade is that I need a little more power at the 1st Base position & I will be losing Merrifield after this year as he becomes a Free Agent. Scott had an interest in Merrifield as a potential RFA or Franchise player. Negotiations were quick and easy. I wish Scott all the luck with his team in the future.

Thanks Chuck. I accept. Don't know that I have enough firepower to finish in the money this year, but Merrifield is a classic example of a perfect FA who can be RFA'd or Franchise tagged. And to grab Pomares who's one of the Giants top OF prospects, I'm happy with this return for Abreu.
Good luck.
