Cubs / Angels

[Chicago Cubs]

Cubs get:
Nestor Cortes SP NYY - $0.55/1yr

Angels get:
Jeffrey Springs SP TB - $1.85 in ARB1
Dane Dunning SP/RP TEX - $3 in ARB1
Rob Refsnyder LF/CF/RF BOS - $1.5/1yr

I like the idea of combining Cortes with Cole and Rodon to have 3 SPs from the Yanks. Springs was especially tough to give up since he’s lined up for a very team-friendly extension this offseason. Thanks for the deal

[Los Angeles Angels]

The Angels are happy to get Springs for the stretch run and, hopefully, playoff push. He was showing signs of a major breakout last year and could be an extension option if all goes well. Dunning is a nice depth piece as well and Refsnyder adds one more OF option.

Losing Cortes is tough but was already having to make a choice on who to use the EOS extension on. This makes that decision for us and helps us for the future.
