OAK receives: Yoan Moncada 2B/3B CHW - prospect Matt Manning SP DET - prospect Ryan McMahon 1B/3B COL - prospect Austin Barnes C LAD - prospect Domingo Leyba 2B/SS ARI - prospect Johnny Peralta 3B/SS STL - $10/16 UFA/17 Jason Vargas SP KC - $8/16 UFA/17 OAK receives $7m in salary from CHC for 2017 season
CHC receives: Manny Machado 3B/SS BAL - $11.5/17.5/17.5/17.5/17.5/26.25TO
Reason for trade: It took a lot of negotiations and the price was steep, but adding Machado to my lineup is a game-changer and I needed to make it happen. I traded 3 top prospects to acquire Moncada in an earlier trade so it was tough to include him, but the deal wouldn't happen without him. He's got a chance to be as good as Machado within a few years and his salary will be a whole lot cheaper. It'll be fun to look back on this one in a couple years. Best of luck to Oak!
