Orioles/Nationals

[Orioles GM (Michael)]

Nationals trade:

2B Javier Baez 18: $8.6MM (A - 4 of 7)

Orioles trade:

2B Devon Travis 18: $2.1M, 19: $2.4M, 20: $2.7M, 21: $3M (2018 will be Year 4 of 7 - Type B for Travis)
OF Charlie Tilson $300k
SP Jen-Ho Tseng $300k

Travis and Baez averaged the same number of points per game in 2017, but Travis struggled with health. So, I deal a pair of mid-tier prospect in addition to Travis, and also take on the higher salary of Baez, in order to add a historically more durable Baez. However, Nationals adds a very high ceiling second baseman coming back, adds cap, and also adds two promising players in Tilson and Tseng.

[Dave (Former Nationals GM)]

Nationals accept- Hate to give up Baez, but probably need to re-tool a little and will hope Travis health holds up to provide the 2nd baseman we needed. Prospects look interesting, hoping that Tilson is healthy as well
