ARZ/LAD

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After some discussion and a couple offer the D-Backs and Dodgers have agreed to the following trade...


Dodgers get:
   Aaron Civale, SP, Rays 2024/11.84M 2025/UFA   D-Backs paying 50% for '24
   Travis D'Arnaud, C, Braves 2024/5.5M  2025/5.5M 2026/UFA   D-Backs paying 50% for '24


D-Backs get:
   Jameson Taillon, SP, Cubs 2024/5M 2025/15.5M 2026/15.5M 2027/UFA   LAD paying 25% for '25
   Freddy Fermin, C, Royals 2024/1.75M 2025/1.75M 2026/1.75M 2027/UFA
   Jefferson Rojas, SS, Cubs 2024/0.3M Prospect
   Jedixson Paez, SP, Red Sox 2024/0.21M Prospect


For the D-Backs we look at Civale & Taillon as very similar pitchers and Taillon is signed beyond 2024. D'Arnaud is one we hate giving up as he has had a nice start to the season, but for a backup C for us Fermin should fill the bill. We also get a couple more prospects that we like a lot in Rojas & Paez.

Thanks to Rob for the deal and good luck the rest of the way!

Gives me a good 2nd C and I like Civale to improve. Injuries are worrying me for Taillon, 2 back issues and it is May.

Give up 2 good proespec5s as well.
