The Pittsburgh Pirates acquire Jesse Chavez, SP, LAA 2017 $5.75M, 2018 UFA
The Oakland A's acquire Archie Bradley, RP, ARZ, 2017 $1.2M, 2018 $2.4M, 2019 ARB 1 The Oakland A's acquire Keegan Akin, SP, BAL MILB $0.2M The Oakland A's acquire Sandy Alcantara, SP, STL MILB $0.2M
The Pittsburgh Pirates made this trade to grab another arm so that we could have 6 starting pitchers to go and win a championship with. Chavez hopefully will be an inning eater who can get me 10 points an outing and keep me in games. It was tough to see more talent leave the farm, but I still feel like despite all the trades with Seager, Peraza, Sale, and a young relieving corp we are still in a good spot not only now but for years to come.

I accept. Chavez is a really nice back of the rotation arm, but he became expendable with a few more of my arms called up to the majors and Sonny Gray coming back. Bradley gives me insurance on Fernando Rodney, and the other two guys have a shot at being a #4 or #5 starter in their prime.
