Texas sends
RP Sean Doolittle $2,600,000 $4,350,000 $6,000,000 $6,500,000 RP Alex Colome $1,000,000
to Minnesota for
SP Drew Pomeranz $2,300,000 $3,300,000 OF Robbie Grossman $1,650,000 $1,650,000 $1,650,000 $1,650,000
This deal nets me a couple of assets who are a little more certain than closers. I think I'm giving up a bit of value here but it's mostly this year centered which is unimportant to me. I like Grossman in an OBP league and Pomeranz has put up a nice track record. Although with only one year left on his deal, he's a candidate to move again before the deadline this year. We'll see!
Minnesota to confirm.

Rockies agree. This one took a little bit of back and forth until we came to an answer that gives us both enough to make it worth our while. Always a great pleasure chatting with Alex, who appreciates the value of the bearded wonder! If he truly is the closer now (and I'll be lobbying Dusty to keep it going), and stays healthy, he is one of the best in the game in my view. Also trading for two closers at this point in the season gives me the option of making a hard push in saves, and whilst I think Pomeranz and Grossman are both really useful players, I'm trading from two positions where I am strong so hopefully I can handle the loss.
