Orioles trades:
3B Jeimer Candelario $300k
OF David Peralta 18: $9M, 19: $9M, 20: $9M
SS Pat Valaika 18: $800k (2 of 7)
RP Sam Dyson 18: $3M
Detroit trades:
SP Jose Berrios $800k (3 of 7)
RP Dellin Betances $6.6M (5 of 7 - Type A)
The Tigers add Candelario, who was a Top 100 prospect prior to his September call-up with Detroit. He hit 36 doubles along with 15 home runs in AA last year, and followed that up by hitting .330 in his first 27-game cup of coffee with the Tigers this year. He still has rookie eligibility, so the Base Knock Tigers will have Candelario (who is penciled in as Detroit's starting 3B in MLB) for his full 7-year contract, including 3 sub-1M salary years.
The Tigers also add David Peralta, who went for 450 points in 2017, and is locked in for three more years at a reasonable 9M a season. With the amount of pitching depth (and cap space) Detroit has, he leverages some of it to add a pair of controllable offensive weapons to keep pace with the ever-improving AL Central.
Sam Dyson will have some save opportunities as well in 2018, and will be in line for plenty of holds (which are handsomely rewarded in BK scoring system). Valaika will also continue to be a strong bench bat that will help bolster his points total when his starting infielders have off days.
I add another reliable arm to my starting rotation to slot behind Carlos Carrasco, and upgrade my set-up position.
