Royal acquire: Jean Segura SS SEA - $9.3m/4yrs w/ $13.95m TO in 5th year Brett Gardner CF/LF NYY - $11m/'18 UFA/'19 Blake Treinen RP OAK - $2.6m/ARB1
Cubs acquire: Charlie Blackmon CF COL - $10.95m/4yrs w/ $16.43m TO in 5th year
After days of back and forth negotiations, the Cubs and Royals agreed on a trade for star CF Charlie Blackmon. I love Segura and drafted him high before extended him last season too; but he became expendable after losing his 2B eligibility this season and moving behind Boegarts on my depth chart at SS. Segura fills an immediate and long-term need for the Royals at SS while Gardner provides a more than serviceable replacement in CF. Gardner himself actually finished 7th overall in CF scoring last season. At bats will be tougher to come by for the Yanks this season but he should still see his fair share and table-setting for one fo the best lineups in baseball should lead to another productive season. Treinen was great as the closer in OAK last season after his rough start to the season with the Nats too. He was the final piece needed to get the deal done.
Thanks to Chris and the Royals for the deal and fun negotiations. Best of luck!
