(LF/HOU) Michael Brantley $9.5M (2022)
(3B/DET) Izaak Pacheco (P-N/A) Prospect
Cubs Receive:
(SP/PHI) Aaron Nola $11.75M (ARB 2023)
(1B, LF/BAL) Ryan Mountcstle $550K (ARB 2026)
(SP/ARZ) Bryce Jarvis (P-N/A) Prospect
(C/StL) Carlos Soto (P-N/A) Prospect
Blue Jays accept and are doing this to hopefully gain a quality RP arm and continue to see maturation as a pitcher from Wright. The prospect Pacheco also looks promising and will be worth monitoring in the next few seasons. Losing Mountcastle hurts, but the offensive gains from Brantley could be worth the 1 year deal.
