Phi Astros receives: Jose Pirela, OF/2B, Padres: 2018: $610K Cristian Pache OF, Braves (Prospect) Joe Dunand SS, Marlins (Prospect) Jesus Luzardo P, Athletics (Prospect) Jorge Guzman P, Marlins (Prospect)
Atl Indians receives: Ken Giles RP, Astros: 2018: $1M 2019: $2M 2020: $3M Michel Baez P, Padres (Prospect) 2019 4th round draft pick
I contacted Brent about acquiring a couple of these prospects who I like a lot. This is part of my farm rebuild although in trading away Baez. I’ve put Giles out there for a long time so I’ll stop tortuturing you all with trade offers for him lol. If this trade is approved I will be dropping 3 prospects to stay at 60

This was a tough trade for me to make, given the amount of young talent that I am trading away, however, closer is one of my weakest positions. The chance to acquire a possible elite closer at such a uber team friendly contract was the primary motivation in making this deal. I thing Baez has the opportunity to be a #1 starter at some point, so really excited about that piece of the deal as well. As always, Paul and myself had great trade talk (as if we don't talk enough already LOL). Win/Win deal.
