LAA/ARZ

[Deleted]

ARZ gets:
Max Schrock, 2b, STL (prospect)
Luis Basabe, OF, CHW (prospect)
Grayson Long, P, DET (prospect)
Ronny Brito, SS, LAD (prospect


LAA Gets:
Matt Kemp OF LAD 21.5 (2018), 21.5 (2019), UFA
Jairo Solis, P, HOU (prospect)
50% coverage on Kemp 2018
25% coverage on Kemp 2019


I accept.  Kemp is having a resurgent season and will plug my LF hole, since cespedes cannot seem to get healthy,  Moves Parra into a Depth role.  Fills my team out a bit after dealing my other depth pieces to get a top prospect.

***Correction*** LAA forgot to note that Arizona included their 5th & 6th round draft picks in this deal***


The D-Backs agree

Kemp is having a very fine year, but just based on the past few years we were worried about a breakdown and decided to use him to upgrade our MiLB a little more. Hopefully he continues the year he is having for LAA!

Giving up Solis was the tough part of the deal, but considering he is at least 3 years away we decided it was a necessity to help get the deal done.


Schrock was the key to the deal, he should be a starting 2B in the bigs for many years with that bat. Basabe could turn into an impact player, he has the tools and is at AA now. If Long comes back like most do these days from TJ surgery he could be a very nice sleeper in this deal. Brito is a lottery ticket, but will have a home because of his defensive ability and hopefully his bat develops a bit.
Dealing the 5th & 6th picks was a no brainer for us as we will most likely only make 5 picks in this draft and have the Cubs 5th rounder to fulfill this with.


It was a long and grueling 2 days of negotiations before we found something we could both live with...thanks to LAA GM for sticking it out!

*************Correction*********


This was supposed to be 2 deals. We had talked about it in that way, after being on here all day I just forgot and posted as 1 deal for acceptance so I could get off here after almost 12 hours. This was supposed to be Brito for the 5th & 6th rounders. Those were the last pieces we added to the deal for that reason. This was my bad...tired and just wanted to be done lol

Agreed. It was a long day haha. This was supposed to be two deals, so ARZ proposed on fantrax on accident with all pieces, and when I posted on here I just copied that. Sorry fellas.
