Diamondbacks/Dodgers

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After a quick negotiation the D-Backs and Dodgers have agreed to the following trade...


Dodgers get:
   Merrill Kelly, SP, D-Backs  2022/10.5M  2023/10.5M
   Chas McCormick, LF/CF/RF, Astros  2022/0.75M  2023/1M  2024/ARB1  2025/ARB2  2026/ARB3


Diamondbacks get:
   Michael Brantley, LF, Astros  2022/17.06M  2023/22.75M


We hate to lose Kelly who is coming off an injury plagued season, but is a solid SP and McCormick finally got a shot and showed very well. But, even though Brantley is getting a little older, you can't tell it by the way he hits. He is still one of the best pure hitters in the game. This gives us a very solid piece to build our OF around.

Thanks to Rob for the deal and good luck this coming season.

Had to cut some cap, got a good return for Brantley. I like Chas and Kelly. Good deal for both teams.
