Yankees trade:

OF OF Kiermaier, Kevin, $10m (2021) fully paid in 2019
C/CI/MI Kiner-Falefa, Isaiah, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Goodwin, Brian, $0.5m (P-2020)

Washington trades:

C Martin, Russell, $4.5m (2020)
CI Adams, Matt, $4m (2019)
MI Robertson, Daniel, $0.5m (P-2020)
MI Semien, Marcus, $1.5m (2020)
SP DeSclafani, Anthony, $5.5m (2019)
C Melendez, MJ, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Trammell, Taylor, $0.5m (P-n/a)

This trade allows me to flex my financial muscles and take on overpaid back up players in Anthony Desclafani, Matt Adams, and Russell Martin to fill holes in my roster. Taking on $16m in back up players isn't ideal but it is better than not having anyone at all. I hate to see Keirmeir go because I'm a big believer in any Ray's obstruction and I think he is going to bounce back and have a good year, so paying his salary isn't ideal but getting back a decent prospect in Taylor Trammell makes it easier. To me though, the biggest loss is Isiah Kiner-Falelfa. Not only will he outperform his projections, but he also qualifies as Catcher, Corner Infielder, and Middle Infielder which is huge. Let's also not forget that he's playing in Texas which is a launching pad for hitters.

Thanks for being patient and working through this with me.

Cleveland trades:
CI Ryan McMahon $0.5M P-n/a
OF Kevin Kiermaier $10m 2021
RP Tony Watson $4M 2019
SP Heath Fillmeyer .500 p-2021
SP Taylor Widener spec
C Trevor Casanova spec


Yankees trades:
RP Greg Holland 2m 2019
KSP Kendall Graveman 5.5m 2021
OF Ben Revere 1.5m 2019

I add about $5m in payroll and lose a talented starter in Kendall Graveman, but I add in a few prospects that I like and fill in another couple of holes in my roster.

Thanks Brian

I know most of my trades have been massive lately and I apologise, but once again I am capitalizing on the depth of my team and trading one of the best 1st baseman in the game to fill my gaping hole at 3rd base with one of the best players in the game. I hate to see Nick Williams, Michael Fulmer, and Jordan Hicks go but the rest of the return makes it easier to swallow. Once again, thank you Brian for the negotiations. I'm sure they won't be our last.
