The New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals agree to the following trade:
STL receives:
David Price, SP, BOS - 2019/25m - 2020/32m - 2021/32m - 2022/44m - 2023/UFA - The Yankees will retain the max salary relief for this contract 2019/50% - 2020/25%- 2022/25%
Alex Lange, SP, CHC 0.3m minors
Nick Nelson, SP, NYY 0.2m minors
Keegan Thompson, SP, CHC 0.2 minors
NYY receives:
Yuli Gurriel, 1B/2B/3B, HOU - 2019/10m - 2020/8m - 2021/UFA
Mac Williamson, LF, SF - 2019/1m - 2020/1m - 2021/UFA
Connor Scott, CF ,MIA - 0.3m minors
The Yankees accept this trade with the Cards to bring the Gurriel Bros. together! We were in the market for someone who can give us full time AB's with 3B eligibility and Yuli fit the bill, not to mention his multiple positions also help fill a whole. He is the type of player that really doesn't hurt you in our scoring system. Mac Williamson gives us back some depth at left field on a cheap contract and we love the potential that Connor Scott shows as one of the Marlins top prospects IRL.
While it is tough to part with a Top Line Starter like Price it was time to move him if we could get the right return. He comes with a hefty contract, and while we are eating a good chunk of it, we are still getting our own relief from it, especially after this season. We feel we got the right deal, and our staff is still plenty good for us to compete. Not to mention we have a bunch on the way, some may even arrive as early as later this year. You always hate to part with young talented arms like Lange, Nelson, and Thompson, but again we feel our farm is deep enough in arms to part with this package to make the deal go through.
Thank you Cardinals for the swift and easy negotiations....nice doing business with you!
