Chicago sends: Wilkerman Garcia NYY prospect Brett Phillips MIL prospect Eddy Martinez CHC prospect Tyler Flowers ATL 16:$3.5M, 17:$4.5M (Arb contract)
Oakland sends: Stephen Vogt 16:$0.5M, 17:$1M, 18:$2M, 19:$3M (Pre-Arb contract) Brandon Moss STL 16:$3.1M
Vogt solidifies my catching spots with Lucroy, Herrmann and young Contreras. Moss is having a nice power season and will be a nice addition to my lineup and could be a good weekly matchup play.
I was willing to move 3 good prospects for them and Brendan gets a few kids who could be pretty special in the next couple of years. He was also good enough to take on Flowers to help me salary-wise. Always good to talk trade with Mr. Oakland Nationals.

Confirm. Sad to see Vogt go, but long term he will be forced out of a job in Oakland as a catcher, and he was not one I saw as a piece of the core of this team. Moss is killing it this year, but it wasn't getting me a championship, and I lose him at year end regardless.
My main motivation here, however, was to grab three prospects I really like. Additionally, Flowers fills Vogt's spot at catcher for now.
Good dealing with Scott as always.
