Royals/Phillies

[Royals GM (Bill)]

The Royals trade:

Andrew McCutchen, PHI OF $13M (2020)
$6.5M in salary coverage

The Phillies trade:

Zach Thompson, STL, LHP Prospect ($0.3M)
Drew Ellis, ARI, 3B, Prospect ($0.3M)

I accept. With injuries mounting already, I'm am going to look to rebuild rather than remain in mediocrity. McCutchen is on a one year deal and he is still dealing with the knee injury that ended his 2019 season. I'm not sure what I would get out of him this year, and rather than lose him at season end with no return, I'm happy to add a first round pick from last year in Thompson. I love Cardinals' pitchers and I'm hoping that he moves quickly and becomes a 4/5....maybe Wachaesque. Ellis may be bench bat with some power one day. Plus I clear $6.5M in cap.

Thanks for the easy negotiations Zach.

[Phillies GM (Zach)]

Phillies accept. Need another OF bat and I'm hoping Cutch comes back and has a productive season. Once again, an extremely fair deal cooked up by the "fairest trader in BK" Thanks for dealing Bill and best of luck the rest of the season.

[Astros GM (Will)]

Approve

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Approve (2-0). Like this deal for both, makes sense for KC to retool with Chicago starting to fill out their roster.

[Cardinals GM (Nik)]

Approve. I like Cardinals pitchers too.
