NYY - ARI Trade

[Deleted]

The New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks agree to the following trade: 

D-Backs trade away to NYY:

1. Justin Bour -  2019/3.89m - 2020/ARB2 - 2021/ARB3 - 2022/UFA
2. Brad Boxberger -  2019/2.5m - 2020/2.5m - 2021/UFA
3. Rony Brtio - minors


NYY trades away to D-Backs:


1. Jose Martinez - 2019/1m - 2020/ARB1 - 2021/ARB2 - 2022/ARB3- 2023/UFA
2. Omar Estevez - minors
3. Rhett Wiseman - minors


NYY accepts this trade to bring in Boxberger to further solidify our bullpen, Bour to add further depth to our lineup and Brito as a prospect that could pan out in the future. It made sense for us to make the deal for Boxberger seeing as we have Peralta who is also on KC and both might either be set up or closer or vice versa. We like that idea seeing as KC might be in a lot of low scoring games and should give us a chance to score points out of our bullpen giving our scoring system. Bour gives us a nice bat to play right now, as we feel he will do well in LAA given the fact that Pujols is nearing the end and should give Bour plenty of chances. Brito is basically a prospect swap for Wiseman. While it was tough to let a good hitter like Martinez go, we felt Bour easily can make up for him, and with Goldschmidt now in St. Louis we are not sure what kind of playing time Martinez will have. Estevez was tough to give up, as he can be a real good one in the future, but we wanted to make it happen now so this is what it took to land the players we got in the deal. 

Thanks for the deal and swift negotiations D-Backs. Looks like a good deal for both.

The D-Backs accept this trade and would like to thank the Yanks management for a quick and easy negotiation that should work well for both teams.



For us the idea came from taking on Boxberger in a recent deal as a throw in. We knew he would be moved when we took him. We think Bour is a nice bat that would have been depth in our organization so we tossed the 2 together in an offer. Getting Martinez was a no brainer for us, even though the Cards have added Goldy, we think Bour will be on the heavy side of an RF platoon, plus when you hit like he does they always find a way to get you ABs. As was said, Brito and Wiseman were just a swap of minor leaguers. Estevez was key to this deal as he is a talented youngster who can handle a bat. We could see him as our everyday 2B in a couple years.
