Tigers Trade:
Jose Altuve 33m (2022) - fully paid 2018, 18m paid 2019 and 3m each year 2020-2022
What a deal! While I was pretty content to ride out the deadline or just make another small deal, when I saw Altuve was available figured I'd inquire and we managed to work this out. Although it's more than I would like to give up I feel like he is the final piece that can really put me over the top against the likes of HOU and MIN.
Kirilloff is tough to move but I was open to doing so for a truly elite player and he is definitely the main piece that got this done. On top of that I'm basically moving almost my entire international class so far, including De La Cruz and Gallardo both of which I think are amongst the highest upside players in this class but really you never know with any of these J2 guys so it makes it a little easier to move. There is a really good chance I regret this down the line especially when Altuve kicks in at 30m but this move is all about making my strong chances at a title even stronger and 18m paid next year should still be manageable- hopefully by 2020 I'll make other moves to work my cap into shape.
