A big one …
Tigers acquire
SP Julio Urias, 4 years @ $31.2M w TO (Cards pay $10M in 2023)
Cards acquire
OF Michael Conforto, 4 years @ $6.5M OF Tyler O’Neill, $4.5/ARB2
Bittersweet all things considered. I don’t think Urias is doomed or washed, but signing Degrom set up a potential cap armageddon if Sale was going to come back later. Sale is starting throwing and the trade deadline is 13 days away, so after offering Degrom to Roger, he proposed this. We have three hot shot rookie SPs that look like front-line guys, so think we can make up for getting rid of Urias. This also gives us some OF depth we’ve been looking for all year. Thanks for the deal, Roger!!

Needing sp, I figured take this bit of a risk urias returns to form in comparison to his contract. I feel he will be alright. Having Davis getting RF now and assuredly getting it for next year allows me chance to move conforto. Adding O'Neill I felt was needed to add to conforto to get urias. Moving these 2 contracts although very reasonable ones still allows me to help pay urias while Davis is TC mode for some years.
Thanks Joe, good luck
