Giants receive:
RP Aaron Loup 23:$1M 24:option $1M (Yankees cover 75% $700k in 23')
1B/3B/OF Hunter Dozier 5/7A 23:$6.1M (Yankees cover 75% $4.5M in 23')
Giants accept. I had to work to get this deal completed, I was looking to trim some fringe prospects for some depth pieces and after a week of talks Jacob and I came to an agreement. Dozier even though he has been a negative WAR player, had that one season where he looked like something, maybe he returns to that, most likely he doesn't, so he ends up as a back up to Brian Anderson for now. Aaron Loup is just another arm in the arm barn.
Rincones is in a good situation to be something with the Tigers, I'm thinking he looks like a 4th OF or a AAAA candidate.
Gray could actually turn into a everyday OF, he has good fluid movements and still appears to be learning.
Triana is power over hit, with that comes swing and miss, but sometimes these types of players turn out to be Joey Gallo/Rob Deer/Chris Davis
Valerio throws hard, has a good pitchers build and is young
Rodon was signed for $4M and has since been released, at one point he looked like he could really be something.
Thank you for the trade talks and making the deal, best of luck with building the Yankees into something.
