Trading two young controllable players who were once stud prospects. Risky move as they haven’t lived up to expectations yet but are still young and cheap with a lot of talent. I get a haul of prospects back lead by potential Stud Corbin Carroll. The rest of the group is less heralded but players I like add to my improving farm.

The Twins accept.

We are constrained a bit by the cap this year and wanted to find some depth. With May being out and Lamet being a bit of an unknown prior to the season, it was important to get an arm that didn’t break the bank. We’re also hoping that Lux finally gets a chance at regular playing time (who knows with Taylor re-signing).

Definitely a deal with a lot of risk given that I lost some strong prospects to make it happen. However, Robert looks to be manning CF for the foreseeable future for me so Carroll is a bit blocked and we also have Pache as a potential fill in. Perez is a strong bat and Hernandez had some pretty strong comp’s. However their timelines don’t match my my window of trying to get in a last push.

If it doesn’t quite work out I hope these two can be part of a mini rebuild.

Fun fact: 3 years ago I traded Luzardo with Joey Bart and Kyle Wright for Jake DeGrom. Welcome home Luz.
