Texas sends
Hunter Strickland RP SFG $500,000 $500,000 $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000 $4,000,000 Lewis Brinson OF TEX (minors)
to Pittsburgh for:
Yordano Ventura SP KC $1,000,000 $3,250,000 $6,250,000 $9,750,000 $12,000,000 $12,000,000 1st round amateur pick in upcoming draft
Risky move for both teams in a funny way - but you need to take risks to win. Sending a top prospect and a future closer for a guy with a 4.5 ERA might be crazy but of course Ventura has tremendous upside, and the draft pick gives me a consolation prize if he doesn't work out. Pittsburgh to confirm.

Confirmed. Ventura is very much a wildcard. Million dollar arm and 10 cent mind. Very hard to predict how it goes for him. I could regret moving him if can ever harness the dreaded potential word. Brinson should be a good add for future years and Strikland is often rumored to be a future closer. I agree with Alex that there is risk on both sides and hopefully each side of the deal fulfills the potential. Time will tell.
