[jpmanchester]

Rockies trade:
OF Marte, Starling, $4m (2018)
OF Puig, Yasel, $0.5m (P-2016)
SP Clarkin, Ian, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Cubs trade:
OF Bruce, Jay, $7m (2016)   $7m
    x-Cubs will pay $4m on Bruce
RP Ellington, Brian, $0.5m (P-n/a)
MI Iglesias, Jose, $0.5m (P-2016)   $0.5m
OF Downes, Brandon, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Reed, Michael, $0.5m (P-n/a)
CI Diaz, Isan, $0.5m (P-n/a)
C Zagunis, Mark, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Danish, Tyler, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Mejia, Jefferson, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Cubs accept. After having to re-work this trade, giving up more than I had hoped, both in MLB and specs, but hopefully this can fill my OF holes without having to dip into FA. Marte is a solid OF3 and I'm keeping my fingers crossed Puig can get his act together and make him worth the risk. Thanks for the smooth (re)negotiations. Rockies to confirm when he can.

I agree with Flash. Not a fan of this trade but Cubs added just enough fluff to make it passable. Also, the recent acquisition of Brock Holt coupled with acquiring Bruce gives the Rockies 3 OF. I doubt that Holt will qualify @ OF next year but it bought the Rockies some time. Colorado is walking a fine line with his budget between trades and free agency, that alone would have earned my veto.
