Orioles Indians

[Orioles GM (Michael)]

Yes boys, another trade.

Orioles trade:

Adam Jones (13:$11.3, 14:$15.3)
Mark Reynolds (13:$11M)
Matt Wieters (13:$6.5M, 14:$12.5M, 15:$18.5M)

Indians trade:

Manny Machado (13:$400k 14:$400k 15:$400k, 16: 1st-Year Arb)
Devin Mesoraco (13:$400k 14:$400k 15:$400k, 16: 1st-Year Arb)

Michael adds two stud hitters in Jones and Wieters (who is a major upgrade over Mesoraco), and then also gets Reynolds who he can franchise to replace Machado.

I clear a bit of cap space, improve at third base, and free up my 2014 franchise tag/2015 franchise tag with both Verly and Fielder expiring next year and someone else presumably expiring the following year. Both sides benefit.

Indians to confirm.

I accept and I agree that this is a case where both sides benefit. It's a points league, and my team struggles with scoring points, especially since i only get them from a few sources, so I needed offense from more positions. I can use available tags on these guys and money is not at all a problem for me. I love Machado but I didn't want to pass up this deal. Good luck Mike.
