LA Reds send
Raisel Iglesias 2016: 2.5M; 2017: 3.5M; 2018: 4.5M; 2019: 5M; 2020: 5M Mat Latos 2016: 2M; 2017: 2M; 2018: 2M; 2019: 2M 2017 draft 1st round pick
(Rockies intend to release Latos on completion of trade)
This one happened quickly after Chris contacted me about Hundley. I think good catchers are very valuable in this sort of deep league and Hundley has a lot going for him, but given I'm out of the running, it made sense to move him even though I would have RFA tagged him if he stayed. In trade chats on Hundley with other GMs I'd asked for a top prospect, but Iglesias is sort of like that because of how they are currently using him, and I really hope they give him another shot as a starter some time. Chris also could do with an extra bat, and Alvarez fits the bill there. I do have a feeling he ends up having a stable role in the AL, and given he has lowered his K rate and improved his BB rate the last couple of years, and is only 29, there is some hope there for sure. The draft pick swap was necessary to bridge the gap, but all in all I get an interesting young arm I can wait on and a nice draft pick, whilst Chris gets a high-tier catcher plus a 1B whom he can use in a utility role, with upside if he can stick in a lineup.

Confirmed. This was one that came together quickly. Having been with one catcher forever I figured it was time to smarten up and Hundley is a guy I loved for the second half. I'm very high on Islesias, especially for the future, however Alvarez is a guy I seem to carry in leagues every year and he has significant upside so once Henry dangled him it was a quick and easy deal for both of us!
