Orioles trade:
OF Charlie Blackmon 18: $15.4M (7 of 7 - A) RP Wade Davis 18: $9M 1B Greg Bird 18: $800k (3 of 7) SP Luis Gohara 18: $300k OF Jason Martin $300k
Rockies trade:
OF Aaron Judge 18: $800k (2 of 7) 1B Edwin Encarnacion 18: $25M, 19: $25M
I add a franchise cornerstone in Judge to build around for years to come, and also get a more proven commodity at first base in Encarnacion. Rockies add a fairly equal caliber fantasy outfielder in Blackmon, but trade in long term control to add a top closer in Davis, a top young arm in Gohara, and a promising young outfielder in Martin. Also adds longer term, cheaper control at first base in the form of Bird, who if healthy could be just as productive as EE next year.
Appreciate your patience in working out this blockbuster over the last week, Alex! Hope the deal works out for both of us.

Rockies confirm. I honestly think this is an overpay by the Orioles. Judge struck out a lot last season, and I think he may just have had his best season. I re-acquire an outfielder of the same caliber in Blackmon... I'll figure out paying for him later... get younger at first base by getting Bird back (regretted trading him as soon as I did), add a closer (presumably), and get a couple of solid prospects back for Judge. I love Gohara and hope he can be a mainstay in the rotation for awhile. Thanks for your patience too, Mike. Took a bit to figure this one out. So long, Judge, great season.

Allow. Makes sense for the Rockies, pitching wins championships and it allows the Rockies better depth and opportunity to re-tool next season. For the Orioles, it rosters them Aaron Judge and EE which is something of an accomplishment for one of the leagues better traders.

Orioles and blockbuster seem pretty synonymous in this league. Approve.
