Cincinnati trades: Alec Bohm 1B/3B PHI; 23-24: $500K Elias Diaz C COL; 23-24: $750K July minors claim
Pittsburgh trades: Jud Fabian OF BAL (prospect) Jackson Ferris LHP CHC (prospect) Jared Jones RHP PIT (prospect) Jake Rogers C DET; 23-24: $1M
Reasoning: Silas and I have been discussing a Bohm deal in some capacity for about a month now, and this is where we finally landed. He had a bunch of prospects I was interested in, but I'm pretty happy with this return, even if I'm chasing upside over certainty w/ all three guys. I've been really encouraged by Fabian keeping his Ks in check, and Jones was just promoted to AAA as a 21 y/o. Ferris is still a teenager, so we'll see how it goes w/ him, but I think he and Jones have frontline stuff.
I like Bohm a good bit, but I've been a little worried that by the time we turn this ship around in Cinci, he might be aging off 3B defensively, and I dunno how well he fits if he's more 1B/DH only. He's definitely a nice player in a batting average league, though, and he's not even 27 yet, so he should be a real nice get for the O's.
Fun negotiations! Hope this one works out for both of us.

Fun Negotiation here. I have been struggling to field a competitive offensive squad. Bohm fits profile of a Younger bat that I will have some control over, and I am always struggling to fill my Catcher position on a weekly basis. Hated to lose the prospects But I can’t always play for the long term. Did some good scouting on arms and can give up a couple here to try to fill a better offensive team. Cincy really put in the time to identify the prospects that he wanted and I enjoyed the back and forth. Will be regretting this in a couple years
