Blue Jays/Nationals Trade

[Blue Jays GM (Stephen)]

Blue Jays get:

SP Brandon Finnegan - $0.8 (3 of 7)
RP Tony Zych ($0.3)
1B Edwin Rios ($0.3)


Nationals get:

RP Brad Hand ($6M) 
$2M Covered by the Blue Jays


I gain controllable pieces. Finnegan and Zych both had their seasons ended by injury, but I am more looking at competing in 2019 then 2018. Brad Hand's contract will expire at the end of the year, and not one that I was necessarily going to renew. Rios is a prospect that I like as well.

Nationals to confirm.

[Dave (Former Nationals GM)]

Nationals agree, needed a closer and this didn't cost me a ton, probably easier than getting a closer as a free agent
Good luck and t ha is for the trade

[Das (Former Giants GM)]

Allow. Good trade for both teams, I like it for the Blue Jays long term and the Nationals get good short term value for high end production.

[Dodgers GM (Scott)]
