Braves receive: Lewis Brinson CF MIA - $1/TC3 Luis Medina SP NYY - $0.2 prospect Austin Cox SP KC - $0.2 prospect
Cubs receive: Edwin Diaz RP NYM - $1.02/TC3
The bullpen is a weak spot for my team as I attempt to make a run at defending the championship this season. We've been in contact with the Braves regarding Diaz off and on since prior to the season and hadn't been able to agree on the right pieces to make a deal happen. Brinson had a real hot Spring and I'd penciled him in as my CF of the future with Blackmon moving to RF this season. But ultimately he was needed as the main piece to get a deal done. And including Medina in the package helped to seal the deal I think since he's got ace upside if he can harness his electric stuff. Best of luck to the Braves and thanks for the deal.

Well the rich get richer in this deal as the Cubs majorly improve a weakness with what I think is the is the best RP in baseball. While I value RP in this league (especially one like Diaz) this format devalues them a little and ultimately the upside of Brinson and Medina if they can figure it out along with another prospect Arm in cox was enough for me to pull the trigger. Good luck to cubs (as if he needs it lol)
