ARZ/DET

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After a little back and forth the D-Backs & Tigers have come to an agreement on the following trade...


Tigers get:
   Cody Bolton, SP, Pirates  2023/0.2M  Prospect
   Quinn Priester, SP, Pirates  2023/0.3M  Prospect


D-Backs get:
   James Outman, LF, Dodgers  2023/0.5M  2024/0.75M  2025/1M  2026/ARB1  2027/ARB2  2028/ARB3  2029/UFA
   Michael Grove, SP/RP, Dodgers  2023/0.5M 2024/0.75M 2025/1M 2026/ARB1 2027/ARB2 2028/ARB3 2029/UFA


For the D-Backs, we hate giving up talented pitching prospects. We think Priester may be in the Pirates rotation at some point this season and by 2024 both he and Bolton could be fixtures in it.

That being said we love our return...Outman does nothing but hit and handled his first taste of the bigs very well last year, as did Grove. Grove's progress was slowed by injuries, but we think he has the talent to be a middle of the rotation type SP with a little more development. Outman should get every opportunity to compete for a starting spot in the Dodgers OF in spring training.

Thanks to Roger for the relatively easy negotiations. This is a deal that could work out for both of us long term. Good luck this season!!

Couldn't have said it any better.

I like the progress of priester and like that just maybe I get not only 1 but 2 pieces for rotation.

Tigers accept but hate losing outman and Grove but have to give to get.

Thanks Donnie.
