Pittsburgh acquires:
Yoenis Cespedes, OF, NYM, $29M
JC Ramirez, P, LAA, $1.5M
Los Angeles Angels acquire:
Dawel Lugo, 2B, DET, 0.2 MIN
The Pirates did this trade because they are willing to take a chance the Cespedes can come back healthy. We have plenty of cap space and if he is healthy he will help me to throw out a serviceable lineup until such time that he can be traded in a pennant race and hopefully bring a return that is more than what Lugo projects to be at this time. Ramirez is a flyer who at times has shown some skill so we're taking a gamble that he might be serviceable.
