Cespedes is a tough piece to give up but I feel I have pretty good depth in OF for next year, particularly LF, that the prospects I got in return make it ok. Kendrick is FA at end of the year so not much of a loss and he has some value to a contending team. With the return of Adames it made the other SS prospects expendable as Adames is the most likely to amount to anything in MLB. I currently have Panda as my 3B so Devers is great insurance for a future 3B. GOnzo and Uehara were included to make the salary work for LAA and there could still be some value depth wise with Gonzo.
The Rockies thank LAA for the long discussions to get this done and hope the players he is getting help contribute to his push for the post season.

As COL said I am making a push toward the post season. I think this helps quite a bit. Cespedes also fills the LF position for me long term which has been a dead spot nearly the whole season. Although i dealt some amazing prospects in this deal i get clearly the best player in Cespedes and a handful of prospects I am interested in to add to my minors as I also replenish my farm system.
Thanks COL
