Title: Rays/Mariners Trade
Post by: PlayerX3D on April 08, 2012, 07:50:15 PM

The Rays and Mariners have agreed to a trade.

Tampa sends:

Daniel Murphy, 1B,2B,3B
Jason Hammel, SP
Josh Sale, OF
Luke Bailey, C

to Seattle for:

Michael Pineda
Sean Rodriguez

Tampa's reasons for doing this deal is to bolster our starting pitching long-term.  Next season, Shields, Jimenez, and Sanchez will all have their contracts expire and we will be left to rebuild around Matt Moore and Matt Harrison.  We like the situation much better with Pineda in the fold.  By most accounts, his injury will not be a major issue going forward and we're willing to take the chance for his upside.

Daniel Murphy was truly one of my favorite parts on my team.  His positional flexibility and high batting average upside made him a great luxury.  But he is a luxury and not a necessity.  Hammel looked masterful today, but I believe the AL East will be a difficult place for him to keep up that pace.  The two prospects are both good long-term guys and Sale's power is prodigious.  However, I was willing to part with them for the immediacy of Pineda's upside.  Sean Rodriguez will occupy his old spot on my roster as a utility player that will hopefully not strikeout enough to offset a meager boost in putout points.

Overall, I am happy to have Pineda joining the squad and the Rays are hoping his rehab continues to go well so that we can put him into the rotation and continue the path toward the playoffs.

I accept this trade and I hate losing Pineda but I love all the guys I get in return to add depth to my farm and to my MLB roster to make a great run in the AL West and a run to the playoffs.

Bailey to Rookie.

I don't have Josh Sale anywhere on any team in the league. Does he go by another name? Or did I omit him from the spreadsheet?

Will be Transactions 2106-2107.

We discussed before.  He and Vettleson were late signers that hadn't been added at the time that rosters were frozen.

I remember now. I don't think I went through PM's when updating rosters. Will add today.

In the future, can you post any such corrections on the forum? I use it as a "to do" list and it let's other people see it in case they protest it for some reason.

Thanks

Will do.

Just for full disclosure to the league:

Drew Vettleson and Josh Sale were late signers for the Rays.  They were not yet on the official roster when rosters were frozen because of that.  However, they were drafted by the Rays and eventually did sign so they should be valid additions to the Rays fantasy roster.
