TB/Bal trade

[Tampa Bay Rays]

TB trades:
Austin Hays OF Bal TC3 - Arb3 UFA/2027
Reid Detmers SP LAA TC2- Arb3 UFA/2028
Ignacio Alvarez 3B ATL prospect

Bal trades:

Pete Alonso 1B NYM 10M/23 Arb3/24 UFA/25


Accept the trade. Was tough letting go of Hays and Detmers two really good young guys under control for the next four to five years. I believe believe Alvarez is a really good prospect have read a lot of good things about him as well. I was in need of a 1B and Alonso is one of the best so was willing to trade the young talent. He is also has a good contract to extend. It’s rare to get the in division trade of this magnitude but I thank Bal for the trade talk and the trade. Good luck to the O’s

Needed to move Alonso or Riley since I could I to extend one.
Decided on Pete as easier to replace w my bench. Happy w return including 2 young cheap starters but really tough to move the polar bear
