Athletics Acquire:
OF Kyle Parker (300k)
3B Carlos Villanueva (300k)
C Josh Phegley (800k)*
LHP Scott Downs (300k)*
OF Bobby Abreu (900k)*
2B Chone Figgins (300k)*
4.3
4.9
Pirates Acquire:
CF Michael Bourn (16.4M)
12.1M in cash <-- Bourn's deal
4.1
Reasoning will come later hold on.
*Salary relief.
REASONING:
I was not planning to keep Bourn this offseason, and Kyle Parker represents a major-league ready outfielder who could easily out-hit Bourn next season in Coors. Villanueva adds depth at third base (a weak spot) and Phegley could be a keeper. I also gain a draft pick.
