The Brewers and Tigers would like to announce a trade! Brewers receive: - Dylan Bundy, SP, BAL - 20/$14.4 ARB2
- DET to pay 50%
Tigers receive:
- Kevin Gausman, P, CIN - 20/$5.18 21/$5.18 22/$7.77(TO) 23/UFA
- Jose Castillo, P, SD - 20/$0.5 21/$0.5 22/$0.75(TO) 23/UFA
- Seth Elledge, P, STL - $0.2 prospect
We made this move to solidify our rotation. Bundy will be a 1-yr guy with the ARB rules but has a lock on being an SP and could be on the move this year IRL. He's shown very good stuff at times but has been chained to a anchor of a franchise. A change of scenery could be just what the doctor ordered to finally capitalize on his potential.
We just acquired Gausman a few days ago but wanted a little more security regarding role going into 2020. If he claims a role in the rotation he'll be a bargain at just over $5M. His real-life salary is likely too great to banish him to the bullpen so we think he will indeed be in the rotation. The Tigers zeroed in on Castillo who's battled some injuries but is still only 23 and has electric swing-and-miss stuff. He's signed to a very friendly contract for a few years too. Elledge is not far from the bigs and has some decent minor league numbers.
Thanks to the Tigers for the continuing talks and relatively quick deal.
Best of luck this year.
