ARI/SEA Trade

[Seattle Mariners (Matt)]

Mariners give:
Pick 1.4 in 2019
Brusdar Graterol P MIN
Cole Tucker SS PIT (Mariners pay his 2019 contract)
Mariel Bautista OF CIN 

Dbacks give:
Carlos Correa SS HOU (Dbacks pay his 2019 contract)
Alec Bohm 3B PHI

Mariners accept.  I was pretty steadfast about not moving Graterol or pick 1.4 since I was very high on both, but Correa and Bohm were two guys I loved even more.

I accept. Thanks Matt for another solid negotiation.

Found Correa a bit easier to part with now that I have Machado. Tucker being part of this offer helps. But the true “gets” are 1.4 and Graterol. I think (hope?) he’s an ace, not a deuce. Consecutive picks at 3 and 4 overall are tough to pass up. I keep trying to get out of this draft, but it keeps pulling me back in! Bohm was a huge casualty here. But with Machado and Andujar on my roster, he was a commodity I needed to spend.

Matt, you’re an awesome dude with a sexy name. Let’s do this again soon!

[Diamondbacks (Matt)]

I have to make a couple roster moves before this can be voted on. I’ll do it in the morning.

[Diamondbacks (Matt)]

Disregard. My roster numbers are good. Vote away!
