NYY Trades Away to LAA:
Jason Kipnis CLE 2B - 2017 - 9/ 2018 - 13.5/ 2019 - 14.5/ 2020 16.5 TO/ 2021 UFA
Joey Rickard BAL LF,CF,RF in minors 1.02 TC1
Grayson Long LAA SP in minors 2017 - 0.2
LAA Trades Away to NYY:
Ben Zobrist CHC 2B,LF,RF - 2017 - 16/ 2018 - 16/ 2019 - 12/ 2020 - UFA
Omar Estevez LAD 2B - in minors 2017 0.2
The make this trade to bring in Zobrist to replace Kipnis to continue our run for a playoff spot and the championship. Kipnis being injured does not help us right now and time is ticking. Both very comparable players so made it an easy decision seeing we are in a win now mode. Estevez is young and could be our replacement for Zobrist down the road. Parting with Kipnis was tough be he has been often injured this year and is not helping us right now, Rickard has been up and down all year so we are okay with parting with him, and Grayson Long could very well be a top end pitcher in the future but pitching always comes with a question mark, so we were willing to part with him as well.

Agree. Shed salary for a comparable player in Kipnis. Pick up long term asset in Long, and a depth guy in rickard. Ultimately jut continuing my shuffle as I try and regroup after an injury plagued season
