The D-Backs and Braves have agreed to the following deal...
Braves get:
Ronny Rodriguez, 2B/SS, Tigers. 2019/1M 2020/2M 2021/ARB1
Ryan Cordell, LF/CF, White Sox. 2019/0.2M prospect
Peter O'Brien, 1B/LF, Marlins. 2019/0.5M 2020/UFA
D-Backs get:
Nicholas Lopez, SS, Royals. 2019/0.4M prospect
Maximo Castillo, SP, Blue Jays. 2019/0.2M prospect
We didn't expect to flip Rodriguez, but we got 2 prospects we had been trying to acquire for a little while. We also hate to see Cordell & O'Brien move on but this gives us a SS in Lopez who is ready now and just awaiting his turn. We see him as possibly the SS of our future and that future could be very soon. In Castillo we get a very young SP that is starting to move up the organizational rankings in Toronto after his 1st full season. He's a lottery ticket at this point, but we feel like he's a good one.
We wish Ronny, Ryan & Peter well in the ATL. Thanks to the Braves GM for being willing to negotiate a little to get this done. It's always a pleasure!
