The Cards and Angels have come to an agreement, sending:From Angels:Dansby Swanson $500k (P-2020)Sean Manaea $500k (P-2019)Sheldon Neuse $500k (P-n/a)From Cards:Yasmani Grandal $4M (2020)x $4M in 2019 and 2020Jonathon Loaisiga $500k (P-n/a)Angels are in a win-now mode and needed a solid C for their 2019 run and Grandal fits that bill. With Manaea's injury leaving his 2019 season in question, I felt the roster space was important to free up considering I have Montgomery out for the year as well. Dansby is my 3rd MI behind Correa and Torres and while he's making progress and hasn't nearly peaked yet, he wouldn't get a ton of playing time, barring injuries. Neuse is blocked by even more options at CI. Angels are giving up a lot of control and upside in this deal, and required a young top 100 spec in return in Loaisiga to balance things out a bit. Finally, getting the Cards to eat the remaining salary on Grandal's contract allows us to fill a hole in our line up while also maintaining some flexibility to do things in FA.Cards to confirm.Thanks for the progressive talks, Ryan...good dealing w/ you!
