Orioles trade:
Prospect Jomar Reyes, 3B, BAL
2018 2nd round draft pick
to Padres for:
SS Elvis Andrus, TEX 17: 13M
My team is significantly lacking in speed, both for the present and the future. I'm taking a risk here that Andrus' breakout continues and he justifies a Franchise tag or RFA at the end of the year and can provide me with some speed going forward. Tripp and I have previously had trouble coming together on deals because we often like the same guys, but the roster construction difference here helped facilitate a deal.

Great minds think alike. As Drew said, we've had trouble linking up in deals. Now that he is closer to contention, I think that's what tipped the scales towards a completed deal. Andrus is having a great season, but is a FA at years end. Instead of franchising him at the end of the year, I preferred to continue the youth movement. I'm a big fan of Reyes and think he'll be a solid MLB contributor. The second round pick was crucial in getting this deal done. Beneficial deal for us both.

Problem on this one- I already dealt my 2nd rounder. Tripp and I are re-working.

This deal was never Commish approved after the re-working. Looks like it went through. STL 1st round pick in 2018 is going to Boston.
