Here's the blockbuster
Texas sends
Wil Myers 1B/OF SDP $500,000 $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000 Joey Gallo OF TEX (minors) Leonys Martin OF SEA $1,600,000 $2,600,000 $3,600,000 Chris Shaw 1B/DH SFG (minors)
to St. Louis for
Manny Machado SS/3B BAL $5,900,000 $6,900,000 $7,900,000 Cody Anderson SP CLE $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000
STL to confirm.
For me, this converts some of my OF depth into a star player. I also like Anderson some so he's a bit of a bonus here. Hurts to lose Myers and Gallo but them's the breaks. Myers especially since he is outperforming Machado this year, but I don't expect him to continue his ridiculous pace (will still be a good player though). Did not really want to trade Gallo either, but for Machado I certainly will.

I got a lot of good offers on Machado and honestly struggled quite a bit to determine which was the best. In the end, it came down to getting one very good known quality and one with huge potential (Gallo) along with some depth pieces that I like quite a bit. Several other offers had really good prospect hauls, but some uncertainty as well, so this is the one I chose. Hopefully Myers can stay healthy and Gallo can convert raw power into game power at the big league level.
Thanks to everyone who chatted trade with me on Machado, and let's keep the talks going. I still have lots of pieces I am open to moving, so hit me up if you have interest in Lackey, Tillman, Bautista, Fowler, Britton, Espinosa, or others.

Drew didn't accept my amazing offer for Machado?
Commish vetoes this deal!
Just kidding... Commish approved.
