Guardians/Yankees Trade

[Guardians GM (Thomas)]

Guardians Trade:

Jorge Mateo SS BAL '24-'26 $1.5M with '27 Option
Joe Ross SP MIL '24 $1.0M with '25 Option

Yankees Trade:
Jo Adell OF LAA 3/7

Guardians accept.

I signed Mateo and Ross this offseason with the intention of competing, but once again, I've gone to a sell. I add Jo Adell, who is now out of options with LA, so they have to keep him on the roster. He's currently platooning with other current BK CLE OF Mickey Moniak, so any night I'll have someone in the OF. Now that he can't be sent down, I'm hoping he figures it out at the MLB level and I don't think Ross and Mateo are too steep a price to pay for if it does finally click for him.

Thanks for the talks, Jacob! Good luck this year!

[Yankees GM (Jacob)]

Yankees accept. Jo Adell has so much potential, and it’s very hard to let him go like this, but my outfield is very deep which makes this a little easier. Currently I have nobody at SS, so adding Mateo will be huge, plus he will eventually have eligiblity at 2B, SS, 3B and OF. Joe Ross is currently getting regular starts for the Brewers, and what I’ve learned from this league, you can’t pass up regular starts.
