Reasoning: reached out to Brandon about Mac and it grew from there. I’m still building this year with and eye on the future. Always willing to deal. Brandon is a savvy negotiator and by the looks of all his young talent, it shows. Great dealings with him and I wish him luck with all the picks and prospects.

[Brandon (Colorado Devil Rays)]

Colorado agrees.

While it’s tough to lose Mac, I really like the return here. While the picks will be in the latter portion of each round, I am confident I can find value. Grace and Zig have bright futures and I am excited to add them to my farm. Pages is probably out for the rest of the year, but he should bounce back and pick up right where he left off. Moncada was added for salary relief, but if he can get over his injury, there’s value there too. Isaac and Dollard are good prospects in their own right, but I like the talent increase in the return.

Fun negotiations with Jarrod and I wish him the best of luck!
