Chicago send
Trevor Story COL 16:$0, 17-20:$0.5M Tom Murphy COL (prospect)
Minnesota send
Charlie Blackmon, COL; 2016: 4.5M (arb); 2017: 5.5M (arb); 2018: 6.5M (arb)
Scott is coming at this trade deadline with intent, and he came to me with a solid offer for Blackmon from the start. It was also an opportunity for me to put one unfortunate trade from earlier in the season behind me and think to the future. Blackmon is a stud, and it's a pity to lose him, but I have him in DD1 and he belongs on a contender's team. Hopefully Story makes a full recovery, and good luck to Scott in his valeant bid for the title!

Thanks Henry. Cub Sox accept. In no way shape or fashion did I anticipate trading Story today after I landed him earlier this season. But with him on the sidelines for the remainder of the year not helping me and I have a chance to replace his stats (power and speed) for only that cost and a catcher prospect who may never make it in the bigs (you said it Henry), why not gamble? Can I make up ground in several offensive categories over the next 7 weeks or so? I don't know but I'm putting in a valiant effort to do so without compromising the other core parts of my team.
Here's to a full recovery for Story and hoping he's back in Colorado's lineup fully recovered in 2017.
