A trade has been made between the Atlanta Indians and the Texas Giants:
Atlanta sends:
1st round pick in 2019 MiLB draft Ian Anderson Braves P prospect Joey Wentz Braves P prospect Franmil Reyes Padres OF prospect Cavan Biggio Blue Jays 2B prospect
Texas sends:
Madison Bumgarner P SF 18-19: $12m
This deal was put together fairly quickly. I reached out to Alex regarding MadBum. I am first in hitting categories overall, but a dismal 12th out of 15th in pitching categories, so an upgrade at starting pitching was on my radar. I hated giving up the young talent (and draft pick) that I did, however, I feel it is justified in adding MadBum. I also feel I'll be able to, as always, recoup my minor league talent in the next MiLB draft. Also, with MadBum's effortless/stress free delivery, I think he has a great 5-7 years left (of which I'll be able to retain all those under contract if I wish). Very much a win-win deal. Great talks Alex.

Texas accepts.
I was in a bit of a tough spot going forwards with Rendon and Bumgarner's contracts expiring the same year. I've been quietly trying to move Bumgarner for a while now but never found the right deal. I think his recent string of injuries didn't help with that. This deal gives me a bunch of prospects I really like, and a decent pick to go with them. Biggio in particular I think will be shooting up lists this year.
Thanks to Brent for the quick and forthright negotiations.
Roster drops to follow once this is approved.
