MIA/LAA

[Miami Marlins]

after some back and forth the halos and fish agree to a deal:

MIA Sends:
Stephen Matz (50% salary - 5M - paid by Marlins for 2024 only)
Xzavion Curry

LAA Sends:
Randal Grichuk

Probably get the short end of the stick here but Grichuk gives coverage at all 3 OF positions this year at a minimum and have guys in minors that can be called up to replace Matz and potentially get at least some of his production back.  Curry was expendable but can make us look really dumb if he becomes a solid starter in Cleveland.  Matz also could gain a lot of value this season but looking at my long term outlook feel all things considered in a worst case a year or 2 from now Grichuk's salary will be easier to get out of than Matz's if I have to.  Thanks to the Angels and good luck!

[Los Angeles Angels]

Thanks Marlins! The Angels needed another starter with injuries already depleting SP depth and Matz showed something at the end of last year. Curry may emerge to be another Cody controlled back end option that helps get us through the year. Grichuk was expendable with the acquisition of Bellinger.
