SF/PIT Deal

[Pittsburgh Pirates]

Pirates Trade:

Delino DeShields Jr, OF, TEX, 1.56M ARB 1

Girants Trade:  

Andrew Triggs, SP, OAK, 1.02M TC1
Griffin Canning, LAA 0.25M MINORS PROSPECT

The Pirates are doing this trade because they need SP and have depth in the OF.  It gives them a solid starter on the cheap and a prospect with upside for the future.

I accept. I really needed a RHH that could play in CF. With Pederson potentially in a platoon in Los Angeles I needed another option and I went after DeShields. Having worked with Delino DeShields for the last three years, I made this deal more with my heart that I probably did with my mind but that's OK. Having the ability to sit down with Delino Jr. multiple times and talk baseball, I feel like he has the right mindset to make a major jump even if they continue to steal his innings with Gomez.

PIT is getting a great young starter in Triggs and a prospect with upside as he said. I think both teams are getting better with this move.
