Houston Astros Receive:
SS/2B/CF Trea Turner, Wash Nats '17 1.02, '18 2.04, '19 ARB1, '20 ARB 2, '21 ARB 3, '22 UFA
SP Bartolo Colon, Atlanta Braves '17 12.5, '18 UFA
Chicago White Sox Receive:
RF Kyle Tucker, Houston Astros '17 0.200 ML Deal
SP Chris Tillman, Baltimore Orioles '17 10.05, '18 UFA
SP Albert Abreu, New York Yankees '17 0.200 ML Deal
Houston trades top hitting prospect Kyle Tucker, solid Yankees starting prospect Albert Abreu, and Orioles top starter Chris Tillman to land the Nationals SS Trea Turner and old man river Bartolo Colon. Bringing in Turner gives us more flexibility in the roster and young immediate bat. Colon is well, Colon. He seems to defy time and logic. He churns out innings and helps fill the hole of Tillman leaving. Hopefully the big boy has 6 more months in him. Tucker to me is one of the top hitting prospects in all of the minors currently, and should be showcasing his smooth left handed stroke on an excellent Astros team within a few years. Abreu has the look to develop into a starter for the Yanks whose rotation greatly needs a youth infusion. Abreu can slot into that rotation if his upwards trend continues and be on a team that will be bursting with youth at multiple positions and salted with vets from the 2018 F/A class. Tillman is a steady vet who is hitting his prime. His arm is structurally sound and he should be back by mid May. When on his game he flirts with ace appeal.
