Oak/Det

[Oakland Athletics]

Oakland trades:

Matt Moore 9.75 9.75 9.75 9.75 UFA
Shane Baz (Prospect)

Detroit trades:

Daniel Mengden 1.02 2.04 ARB1 ARB2 ARB3 UFA

I accept, it really hurts to lose Shane Baz, but Moore wasn't doing anything for me and I could really use a 6th pitcher which Mengden gives me. Baz probably has higher upside but mengden is still young, and I am always happy to acquire A's players. Thanks for the quick negotiations Detroit.

Not excited to trade a contributing MLBer in Mengden, but Baz has a very high ceiling, and fits my timeline better. Moore is a buyout candidate in the offseason, and I have tons of cap room to absorb the hit.
