Rays/Yankees blockbuster

[RyanJames5]

:TB: receives:
Alex Bregman 11(2023)
3M pd in 2023
Jack Flaherty 5(ARB 5th)
Jordan Hicks 937,500(ARB 5th)

:NYY: receives:
Josh Jung P/C
Zach Neto P/C
John Rhodes P/C
Jackson Kowar P/C
Matt Manning 700,000(ARB 2nd)
2M international money in 2024

:NYY: will post a few roster moves to create MiLB space once the deal is approved.

Not an easy trade to make for :NYY: Bregman was a huge part of the championship run last year, but with the raises coming in arbitration next year and the players I have that will be free agents a trade like this was necessary for the long term health of the franchise. I love Jung proves to be the stud he looks like he may be and I?m very high on Neto moving quickly. Manning will hopefully give me a reasonable replacement for Flaherty and I?m still holding out hope that Kowar can put it together. Thanks @dbreer23 for talking through the deal and good luck continuing to turn :TB: around.

Rays confirm this deal - thanks @RyanJames5 for the easy discussion. Deal came together is relatively short order.

I think this is my last big deal for this season, but I needed one more mid/upper-tier SP and an IF bat. Yes, giving up Jung hurts a ton, but I'll take a typical Bregman year this year and hope he is affordable enough for me going forward once I drop a ton of dead $$ after 2023.

Let's get it on!

Can already tell you this puts :TB: over cap by about 2M + all the bids outlayed on the board, so probably around 3.5 ish over cap

I can double check, but with the $3M coming back from Yankees, I should have ~$1M remaining.

After the Kimbrel win, I have $14.3M
Bregman is 11M
Flaherty is 5 M
Hicks and Manning nearly even
Yanks provide 3M

This means I'm taking on ~$13M.

Forgot about the May bid...yep, that puts me over by ~$2M if I win the bid.

[EastCoastGonzo]

Looks like it puts you over by around 1.5M

Yep, that is my mistake.

Yanks and I are reworking the deal.

Thanks.
