Astros / White Sox

[Astros GM (Will)]

SP Alex Cobb, $10.6 ('23)
SP Carlos Carrasco, $6.0 ('23)
SP Noah Syndergaard, $10.0 ('23)
SP Kutter Crawford, $0.8 (2/7)
OF Andrew McCutchen, $5.5 ('23)
RP Matt Moore, $0.6 ('23, '24 option)

-- $7.9 covered on Cobb
-- $4.5 covered on Carrasco
-- $7.5 covered on Syndergaard
-- $0.6 covered on Crawford
-- $4.1 covered on McCutchen
-- $0.4 covered on Moore

for:

OF Randy Arozarena, $0.8 (3/7)
RP Dereck Rodriguez, $0.8 (3/7)
1B/2B Josh VanMeter, $0.3 ('23, '24 option)
2B Jimmy Glowenke, $0.3 (prospect)

Can’t think of a much better scenario for all these rentals than getting Arozarena. Cobb will be a stud and a solid tag candidate, and Kutter Crawford is looking like a stable rotation piece, but this consolidation will be great for next year’s version of the Astros.

[White Sox GM (Caleb)]

White Sox accept.

It's tough making such a short sided deal, but I feel like this team really has a legit shot to win a championship, and I can't let it all go to waste bc I didn't get 10 starts a week.   OF is a position of depth for me and w/o much of a farm i felt this was my best way to address the arms issue.  I like what Cobb and Kutter are doing, and there very well could be a situation where I need a start from cookie or thor.   

I think I’ll be able to tag Cobb for a year and Kutter atleast has some control so at least I have something to show for Randy past this year.
